Whatever you decide to do, DO NOT pay everything up front. Flight schools go out of business all the time. If you really have an interest in flying, research "flying lessons" on YT, then set up an intro flight. If you decide to pursue it, set aside 2-3x/week at least until you solo. It is very important to fly often enough to set the hand-eye coordination and to get used to situational awareness. Keep up with book studying too though, because the cockpit is the WORST place to learn. If you decide to pursue this, a home PC sim set up can help a lot too.

The problem with aviation is, once you've sunk a significant amount of cost and time, it is VERY hard to stop if you change your mind. Also, you will need a degree to move through this field. You should also check out AOPA flight training, the 99's and Women In Aviation. It ain't easy, but for someone starting out, things have never been better. Personally, I'm fed up.
