What country to start in?

Hello there, new wannabe from Australia, interested in the helicopter career.

In browsing some other forums, an interesting possibility was raised.

Australia is a someone convulted path for obtaining a professional qualification, and competition is (perhaps) overly fierce, or limited, once obtaining the bare minimum training level. It's also expensive, relative to other countries. It was suggested to me that training in another country might be a better option. Maybe some of the more remote schools that would be more likely to take you on as an instructor afterwards, aptitude pending.

So my question is, are certain countries qualifications more "desireable"? Is there a global "standard" that allows for easy transitions between the various country codes/licences?

Does anyone have recommendations along these lines for good countries to get a start in?

Etc. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Regards, Liq.
