Navigation?

I'm just embarking on my PPL and I'm trying to make sense of the whole navigation thing.

I understand all that's required for the PPL course, as it's basic VOR navigation and visual approaches.

I'm just wondering about how you chaps in the big stuff get from the airway down to the ground.

Do you always follow the approach chart or do you take vectors onto the glideslope, or both? Also at what point do you start a visual approach? Do you join a circuit, but a big one?
