NATS=good, Self funding, need help.

Please help oh wise and gracious Atco's, I really need it. I am giving serious consideration to funding my own ADI rating, with the hope of securing employment afterwards, and being sponsored for an APS rating.
Could those that have travelled this road please give accounts of their experiences, and the current prospects for those with unvalidated ADI ratings.
I have read many comments about the pitfalls and difficulties involved, and am daunted but not deterred. Such comments do awaken me to the import of doing as much as I can to find a willing airfield, ideally to have one lined-up prior to beginning training.
Any advice that you could provide, on any aspect of what lies ahead, and how to go about doing this on my own, what has worked for yourselves, difficulties you had once you secured an ADI rating, etc, would be gratefully received. Thanks.
