Helicopter Pilot job outlook/availability?

Currently an EMT. Was going to goto fire school but I had a major injury (torn achillis) so thats out of the question. I’m checking out going to chopper school. I’ve seen some jobs here and there but really not too many.
Are there lots of helicopter jobs out there, entry and professional levels?
I know you can become a flight instructor, how much a year would you make doing that?
I live in Florida and the oil rigs in the gulf I know hire pilots to go back and forth. Is that lucrative? Do they hire entry level pilots?
The school I’m looking at has an FAA/JAA course for only about 1/4 more. I’ve been also thinking about moving out to the UK… does anyone know if they have lots of jobs out there and do you make good money?
