If you care to scroll up a bit, you see my recent post about salaries.
As to 'converting' your PPL: it's easier and faster to redo your PPL in NAM or RSA. You do have all the necessary hours, the exams are peanuts. You will just have to do a flight or two to settle down to the standards and then do the test. It's not possible to convert a PPL. You could validate it (which is the same process as above) but then you still don't have anything to build up onto.
