Paris..

Just get out and do your own research and you'll soon get a feel for which schools are and which ones have a good quality to them . Go visit as many as you can stomach take their info and ask as many questions as you can think of and you will learn a lot about the state of play.If any of them tell you that you will have no problem wandering into a job as soon as you've finished then they are lying through their teeth just as much as anyone here saying theres no chance.Dont forget that the schools main job is to get you into their school, and some of them will spin some serious to make that happen..

Some reality.. It is a slog just getting the quals done, and then an even bigger slog scoring the jobs.Depending on your cash flow situation you could be doing it hard for 2 years minimum if you go hell for leather, and possibly 3-6 years before you get a job that starts to pay back the massive outlay in any meaningful way..

If you are willing to move around and be flexible with what you are prepared to do it will help.If all you want to do is climb into an FO's seat at the local International airport as soon as you've completed the quals you'll be in for a lot of frustration and disappointment.

But again -like every other mad bugger here- if you want to do it you will, and I wish you the best with it.Take your time and enjoy the study.

p.s
For all the whining on this site I doubt there is a single one who would give it away as its the best job going despite the current stresses.
