Question Type Rating - B737

I'm hoping that someone can put some sense into this post.

First of all, I'm not a fan of self sponsored ratings especially not expensive ones. But the story is that I have been given a JAA B737 rating. Someone in my family gave it to me, and they want me to do the training this fall.

I know that a B737 rating itself isn't worth very much due to the fact of no or little experience on the type. My current experience is 1300 TT with about 800 MEL (C340 and PA31). PIC is 940 and SIC is 300. I have a JAA frozen ATPL, and MCC completed in september.

Is it realistic to get hired by one of the low budget airlines around Europe or should I reject the offer? I love my current job flying light twins, but I would be lying if I told you that I'm not interested.

Please give me some opinions on this!
