You should go do the training either in Canada or the US and pick a scenario that allows you to work as a flight Instructor for a period of time after you pass your exams. If you want for some reason to come back to Europe, then during your studies you should also study the EASA ATPL course by distance learning and pass the 14 exams.

After 2 years you should have 1000 hours total time and your EASA Theory passed. If you come back to Europe, you can then before you go back do an EASA add on. I believe there is a few schools in Canada who do it and in Florida for sure.

There used to be a school in Sanford, Florida who did JAA and FAA combined. In the US you have more chance to find a job as an Instructor in my opinion.

You may also look into South Africa or Namibia for training. After getting your licenses you can get a job as a bushpilot. Great fun and teaches you to think a little bit. (unlike airline pilots. Sorry)
