Question ATPL- PPL - CPL - FI(R)?

Hi,
I was just wondering whether I could do my course with the end goal of becoming an instructor in the way mentioned above? I am 16 and will be finishing school in June. My instructor has said that it may be an idea not to go to sixth form, get good grades in GCSE (Which I'm already on track for), then study for my ATPL via Distance Learning, then get my PPL, then ratings and so on before CPL then finally FI(R), then, if I chose to become an Airline pilot after a while, would I just have to get a type rating on the specific aircraft?

Is this a feasable route, and can I start it at age 16?

Thanks
