STAY IN EUROPE for now! I quit 121 because the lifestyle was so bad. I currently fly 135 and love it but the competition for a job is tough right now. I work with two retired UsAir Captains with about 25,000 hrs each. They still fly because they lost their pensions!
Get more time where you are and wait out this sh!t storm we are in, this place (USA) is a mess at the moment.
Sorry for the bad news.
