UK Employment

This may seem an obvious question but i would really love for somebody to tell me how people are expected to obtain work in the UK?

I am obviously out of touch living in the United States currently, but what are you UK boys doing after you graduate? The economy is bad of course which is affecting jobs but can somebody tell me what the current course of action is?

It is completely unreasonable to expect a Pilot to pay 20,000 + Pounds for a UK Type Rating and Line experience in addition to a previous investment. This is joke quite frankly.

Being an FAA CFI with a UK fATPL, i would also be interested in knowing if the UK Airlines are likely to hire someone with more hours in a Cessna? in UK Airspace if i decided to go the CFI Conversion route.
