Commercial Planes

What can I do to begin a career in piloting commercial planes?
I don’t mean to give out any personal information, but I’m in High School and I live in southern California, fyi.
So, what can I do to pursue a career in commercial piloting?
Do I have to go to a certain school?
Are there any piloting schools around California?
Are there any important requirements that I should know?
I would love to work with aeronautics, and especially pilot a plane, but I’ve never seen any female captains or pilots in the commercial flighting industry, only flight attendants and such. This kind of puts me down. I’m a bit skeptical about what should I do in life, but I don’t want to give up so easily.
And this is based on my experience, so no offense to anyone.
Hey, I personally know a female captain in an important airline! It’s true that there aren’t many, but there are more & more female pilots in commercial aviation.
I don’t know about California, but the steps are often the same to become an airline pilot.
You have to pass your PPL (You Can start now), then after school, your CPL and ratings. You can then apply to an airline, and once on a job continue on to do an ATPL, so you can eventually be promoted to captain.
Look up these abbreviations on the ‘net if You Don‘t know them.
Don’t give up, if it’s what u really want to do, you’ll be able to!
P.S. I’m studying to do the same thing, it’s loads of fun, you’ll see…
