Community shorthand. FAAland = USA, EASAland = European countries with their licencing managed by EASA, the European Aviation Safety Agency. Which is to say, most of Europe. Basically if you can only work in Europe, do your professional training here (although your PPL and hour building can be elsewhere without problems).
Purple Pitot's point, incidentally, about getting a class 1 medical very early on, is spot on. Without that, the choice of licences and jobs available to you is rather limited: balloons, microlights and gliders basically for professional flying.
