Stateside for you matey.....

Can only assume you maybe have a PPL at the moment.

The fact is Oxford is very expensive, very hyped and being fair very good.

You could certainly fasttrack your training/hourbuilding in the states with the good weather at a very reasonable cost. Whilst you are there I would suggest you get a twin rating and 20-30 hours P1 in a twin (any old twin) as multi P1 time is something I am short of right now.....let me explain.

Assuming you go and get qualified come back and do an instructrors rating, should employment prospects still be cr@p after an amount of time you may wish to upgrade to being an IRI/Multi instructor, at which point this Multi p1 time will come in handy.

I very much enjoyed flying in the states, its a little ill disciplined but doesnt necessarily have to be so.

This isn't careers advice but if you do go to the states I would suggest you do the above and get that particular tick in the box (amongst others).

PPl instructors get £6 ph CPL/IR/Multi instructors get £60!!

Theres a lot to see in Florida......
