The first step is getting your private pilot's licence. For this you must be at least 17 and have an FAA medical certificate. There are many companies all over the US that offer flight instruction. Research them as much as you can and pick one. Keep in mind that getting your pilot's licence is very expensive. It's usually around $10,000. You will receive bookwork training (called ground school) and you will have actual flying time when your flight instructor will teach you the hands on part of flying a plane. The whole process can take from a month or so, or a year or so. After you have a private pilot's licence, you must obtain FAA certifications for IFR flight (using radar, gps, etc...) as well as multi-engine jet certifications. If you wish to make a career of it, you must also have your commercial pilot's licence, and if it's for an airliner, an airline transport licence. All this may seem like a lot, but once you get your private pilot's licence, you will know all the basics and it will get a lot easier. After you have all these certifications, all you have to do is fly. Airlines, cargo companies, and private jet charters always look favorably on someone who has a lot of flight experience so practice as much as you can. A college degree is a good idea too.
