You might be willing to work anywhere but are you entitled to? Most countries will require a visa and work permit.

You need to get the licence for the country in which you are entitled to work.

If you want to fly helicopters, then learn in a helicopter; no point doing fixed wing. If you want to fly fixed wing, then learn in fixed wing. There are very few job roles which require both so you are either an aeroplane pilot or a helicopter pilot.

In the UK, the cheapest hourly helicopter for training is around £250 an hour - more like £300 on average. For fixed wing it is less than half that.

There is booga-all work at the moment in either, worldwide.

The best lead I can give you is to start reading the sticky threads here and start your research.

Cheers
