Well if you didn't help Muser you certainly helped me Poose, so it wasn't all in vein!
The modular route seems like the best option for me, as I've just finished the bulk of my university course and can start gaining a PPL right away this summer. After that, and while I'm doing my dissertation next year I could be hours building, and could possibly even visit the US for a couple of weeks as you suggest to accelerate that step.
Then after that's complete and I've totally finished uni it shouldn't be too difficult to get a job related to my course and save up the extra dosh to move onto a CPL and beyond before I'm 25...
Sounds like a plan!
