A330, the best thing you could do right now is get yourself down to your local flying school and talk to some people about flying. Flying people love nothing more than talking about flying stuff and are generally more than delighted to be able to answer questions that someone needs answers to.

I'd also make a friendly suggestion that you give away slightly less of yourself on a public forum.

To answer your initial question, the basic route to turbines is that you get yourself a commercial pilot's licence endorsed to fly multi-engine piston aeroplanes. Then (in the ideal world) an airline offers you a job, and puts you through the type rating for the specific aircraft type they want you to fly. There's no generic "turbine rating" as such.
