What MJ says is very good advice, meanwhile, you have the internet at your disposal. Why not do a bit of research on Paragliding, Microlighting (both flexwing and 3-axis), Gliding.....
There are many ways of getting airborne...at your age, there was no way I could dream of anything more than a "trip round the bay" in an elderly 4-seat taildragger Auster.- But I was a keen aeromodeller and could read all the books and latest magazines for free at the Public Library (It was warmer than home, in the winter, as well!) I learned a lot about the theory and practice of flight from models.
You may well find that some disciplines have lower age-limits for gaining a licence. To follow this path will give you a much better understanding and make the PPL training far easier, far more enjoyable and make you a better, safer pilot.
(It would also look damned good on your C.V. to a prospective employer.)
