Craig,
You are obviously a young, keen lad (or girl), interested in aircraft. Keep the enthusiasm up and read about a bit as these questions are answered on the archive threads - there are some long posts on what is required to get the first job, and what employers look for, depending upon what they fly and where. Most people start out in airlines that only fly one type for example.
Surely your father can tell you about his experiences if he is a pilot - as you say on your first ever post on the site?
Best of luck.
