Rotorheads a minority?

Hi

The decision I made to go for a CPL-H/ATPL-H, was made based on several tips, alot of thinking and many conversations with pilots and non-pilots who has a certain clue.
(In the end I really dont care what I fly, be it fixed wing or rotor, just as long as im lucky enough to get a job).

Anyways, the fact of the matter here in Norway is that most people that go for a professional training in aviation, do the fixed wing. (The club chief at Sola Flyklubb where I trained for the PPL-A, keeps joking about how 50 percent of cab-drivers in Oslo have an ATPL-A, just waiting for a job to come by).

So one of the reasons for why im going for a rotor-CPL is based on the fact that theres no shortage of fixed pro`s here, but my question is then:

How is this in Europe or Usa/North America for that matter? Hard to tell or what?

Thanks for any replies
