Generally sound advice.
I myself am retired now, I took myself off to the USA and did my FAA licence a long long time ago and subsequently worked in a number of positions in more than a few locations. At the end of the day, it was the USA that first devised the Flight Dispatcher system and in my opinion it remains the leader in requiring licence holders to display a high level of knowledge.
One has to make one's own decisions, but as I have already said, desertopsguy provides some very sound and practical input
