FAA + JAA Qualified

I am a uk citizen and I will shortly be qualified under FAA to CFII and under JAR to FI (hopefully IR within a year or two). I potentially have a job as an instructor in the states which should take me from the 2-300 hours mark to about 1000hrs. Hopefully this should make me quite flexible and employabe. I'm happy to pay my dues as an instructor but i've got no interest in flying R22's much past 1000hrs (or when i get my us atpl). My question to any pilots out there is where in the world is a good place to work (or **** places with good jobs!), who's hiring and what sort of jobs can i apply for both now and in the near future. I'm single, i dont mind moving to dodgy countries and i dont mind offshore work.

would also like to hear about anybody's general experiences and opinions on being a jobbing heli pilot.

Cheers!

Mike.
