A B737 rating without hours on type is a complete waste of time.

Yes I completely agree, type without time is useless.

I am completely against people paying for types (seems to only happen in the Europe) and obviously in a flash of a miracle everyone would stop doing at the same time and companies would pay you to do it, but that not happening anytime in the near future since everyone is doing it to get ahead of the other people *rant rant*...

Basically dont ever pay for a type unless and this is a BIG unless you are going to have a job to show for it. I would look very closely at any contract that they offer you for doing a type with them because lets think about this logically, why would they keep you on after your line training if they can get someone else to pay them to take your seat? :ugh:
