Becoming a pilot in the near future - what one needs to know

Hello there,
I'm 15 years old and I have been interested in aviation for quite a while. I've had 16 hours of flying and I'm going solo when I'm 16 (March). I've also got a gliding scholarship for easter so i hope that goes well. To finish off with, i film aircraft on YouTube:

Now, I'm not promoting myself or anything like that. I'm just thinking whether it's wise for a person like me to continue and become a professional pilot. Do you think it is a clever thing to do?
If so, what school is best? I like the sound of CTC wings, but I might be wrong.

Is there anything I need to know?
I do have the money to commence any type of flying training but I don't want to end up teaching youngsters how to fly Cessnas in an aerodrome...

What do you think?
Anybody's advise is greatly appreciated.
