Question Dual license EASA and FAA

Good afternoon everyone,

As you may notice I'm new posting on this forum, I'm 17 and I´d love to become an airline pilot in the future.
In Europe (I'm Spanish) there are lots of good options for obtaining my license and I don't care going abroad for studying and working (In fact, I love it),but since getting a job is truly difficult over here, I'm tempted to get my license in the US even though many people advised me against it. They often say it's ok to live and work there but at one point in my life I´ll want to return home no matter what. I haven't mentioned that my dream, apart from flying, is to live and work in the US.
This is why I'm looking for flight schools that have this kind of "Dual licensing" of EASA and FAA integrated ATPLs. This would allow me to fly in both continents. I've heard they exist and have found some on the Internet, but you probably know of some other schools that offer that,it doesn't matter if they are in Europe or the States.
The alternative would be to get my license in the US and then converting it to an EASA one or vice versa, but I've heard it is not worth to do it.

Is there anybody who knows about this?
