Explain to us how the statements I've copied above go to together.
A MPL is just that a multi crew licence, which as the name suggest is only for a multi crew operation, and if I understand it correctly is only good in an airline environment. It's useless for pretty well anything else like corporate, flight instructing, aerial work, bush flying etc.
From some of the OP's posts it would appear he/she may not wish to go airline flying or at least do some other flying during their career.
It would seem to me the OP will need to have a "proper" licence.
As for the self improver route, where nothing is assured, well I think it's fair to say nothing is assured whatever route you go.
At least with the self improver route you don't have a massive loan around your neck and usually haven't whored yourself into a self funded type rating at an exhorbitant price.
As far as I know, after 1500 hours, the MPL-trained pilot gets a full ATPL with no restrictions and can dedicate himself/herself to other kind of flying if he/she wants to.
