I haven't read the whole thread so pardon me if i repeat some point already made.
Where you train will have virtually nothing to do with who or when you get a job in GA, the regionals, the airlines or the space program. Having a degree might affect your chances with the space program but will not affect the other three.
Getting a job particularly in GA has everything to do with hitting the road, presenting yourself in a professional courteous manner and meeting as many of the correct operators that your budget will allow. Build your contacts follow your meetings up, be patient, reliable and have a "can do" attitude that is combined with a willingness to do a bloody good hard days work. Be persistent and do not give up. Finally the biggest thing of all: Right place Right time (this includes all categories of avaition and life!).
Put all the glossy brochures away, save your pennies and try and learn how to fly from your flying school nevermind what airlines/ga are going to bloody think.
