Career in GA

With such a wealth of people and information on this forum, I thought I'd
throw this out there....

What do you guys reckon to flight training up to CPL abroad. I always
thought I wanted to go ATPL when I was younger, but since starting to learn
in a C-152 aerobat and flying a Duchess, I altered my goals to flying GA. So
much more fun, also it would seem there are a greater variety of jobs out
there.

Current situation is that I got my FAA ASEL 4 years ago and have done little
flying since except a few hours and my BFR 2 years ago..... realise I have
some catching up to do! I live in the UK though, and it would appear that GA
opportunities are limited and expensive.

Anyone here ever moved to take up this career? where did you go?
As always, any advice, anecdotes or suggestions are very welcome.
