Your basic Licence isnt worth much on its own - do the course and the three years (it'll soon fly by) and three years is short by some standards.
After then, the world is your oyster. If you want to trip around - fine, staying put is fine too. But, then, it's your choice.
Do the Course.
I've done heli's, commuters, big jets, flying club, military and back to heli's again. It can be done. But you need the licences - except for the military, who don't care!
I'll hand this over to the Connies now....
