In addition to the valid points raised by jstflyin and felix, as a flight instructor I would say that its important to remain focused throughout any program of flight instruction that you may decide to undertake. Pilot training can be a bit of a roller coaster ride for most, with high points and low..
Also whilst the FI position isnt the best paying job in aviation and not the most glamorous, it can be rewarding in many other ways,
1) In a busy school you can get lots of flight experience.. (100hrs/Month)
2) Your people and communication skills will improve significantly..
3) There is a great deal of reward in seeing someone learn from your tuition..
4) Your piloting skills will improve over the average commercial pilot -- drastically..
5) When it comes to taking checkrides for charter/airline employment, you will be better placed than most to pass any sim check or aural quizzing..
In any case, good luck with your GCSE results, and whatever descision you decide to take..
