Flight Training in the US

Hello all,
I'm a private pilot from Iceland with a JAA licence.
After this summer im planning to continue my flight taining. I really dont want to do all the flying in europe because:
  • Ive heard that the instruction is better and standards on training are higher in the US.
  • The JAR wants student pilots to learn how to fly by reading books.
  • Flight training in europe is also an economical death to me, it is thogh pretty cheap here in Iceland.
I would like to complete IFR training, multi engine and CPL. What are the chances on getting a first job in the FAA area ? Im also thinking of going back to Iceland afer the CPL and convert my licence to JAA by sitting for a year in school.
Does anyone know about a high quality school that charges reasonably ?

The hour in Iceland with an instructor is about 180 dollars in a skyhawk.
