Go to college first so when the modeling thing doesn't work out at least you have an education.

I have heard a lot of bad thing about SOME (not all) modelling agencies and how they make you pay for photos and photo sessions before they take you on then never give you any work. Always check with the local Better Business Bureau in teh US or Trading Standards in the Uk or Similar organisation elsewhere.
I think a better starting place before you go to agencies is if you have a friend who is reasonable with a camera (do not have to be a professional or even that good just okay) Just take 100 photos of yourself in different poses, clothing and backgrounds then pick out 10-20 nice photos. You can then use this as a portfolio, and even better instead of printing them which cost you money every time, host them on a website and get some business cards print with the website address on and just hand these out instead. This is a far cheaper way of doing it and with no RISK. You should never have to pay to get a job if you do there is a high chance it is a scam.
However if you would like a personal portfolio site please contact me and I will set you on up for free. I can design you a fully personalised flash website with as much or little information and then host it for you. This site can contain a gallery of your photos, personal information, list of work, contact details, etc or if you prefer just a couple of photos and nothing else. It can be password protected and all images will be protected as is humanly possible, or the photos can be available to download.
Examples of work can be provided on request. Just message me here if you want, I am a professional website designer but have lots of free time (and enough money) so I am currently doing free sites for small bands, small artist etc, basically anyone who could not afford them otherwise. I have my own hosting server so can offer hosting servers or you can host the site yourselves. No images sent to me will be used for anything other than your site and I will not give anyone your detail or link to the site. You will have complete control and the site can be removed or changed at any time. This is not a scam and I will design a site for FREE, I do not need the money, and enjoy working. If you do want it message me you can tell me what you want and how you want it done and I will help.
Depending how old you are I may require parents permission before i will do any work.

To become a model you need to take some headshots/pics with a reputable photographer and submit to the MAJOR companies, elite models, ford models, etc. Don't go through a modeling school - if you have to pay for anything then don't do it. If you really are wanted, the agencies will pay for everything for you. I saw something like that on the Tyra Banks show - where she specifically said that.

Get a headshot, then try getting an agent, make sure you have the body (I was shocked to find that the average model is 5'10 and 110 lbs). Find an agency and try and work your way up the ladder! You must be tall and then, remember that! (At the very least, 5'6)
Good luck! ^_^

Learn how to make yourself throw up, have a self esteem so low that you have to validate you worthyness by sleeping with everyone. Become shallow and vain and know that your thoughts are no longer important because you will merely be a pretty cloths hanger in heels

What i would do is look in the PD and some times you will find little jobs. But don't let no one crush your dream. And do any thing that is in your price range. And get a gent to make all of your deals with every one.

My sister is a model and she seems to always get attention and stand out by always acting energetic, up to anything, cooperative, and cheerful.
