There are many jobs at NASA: astronauts, engineers, doctors, biologists, geologists, chemists, and yes, lawyers and accountants.
If you want to work or NASA and are still in high school, concentrate on getting the best education you can. Concentrate in math and the science of your choice. Also, take a look at Sally Ride's bio. She's very well educated in more than one discipline. Lastly, never let anyone deter you from your objective.

I imagine you mean as a scientist. You have to complete calculus, chemistry, and physics. Much of getting good grades simply rests on study habits. If you have a hard time focusing, find someone who will tutor you. Even if you understand the material they'll help you stay focused and get the work done.
NASA has different facilities around the country. Find the one nearest you and see if they have any programs for highschool students. Some of them do.
Express your desires to a school counselor or math/science teacher and ask if they can help in any way.
Get envolved in clubs or programs that interest you and be on the look out for academic competitions that you can participate in. If you don't have them at your school, bother someone to bring them to your school.
Goodluck

Maths, science, computers, communications.
If you want to be an astronaut, add to the above the need for a good level of fitness. They can't take fat people on the Shuttle or into the confined space of ISS.

Do your absolute best in school get straight A's and take as many Ap classes as you can and make sure you do a good job in them..and make sure you go to a really good college that specifies in Astronomy and get in and do your best and eventually all your hard work will pay off. But, you really need to do your absolute best in school. It starts there..
Good Luck Kid:)
I hope nothing but the best for you:)

Contact some colleges you might be interested in attending, and speak with their engineering departments. They will lead you in the right direction. Or, you could always call NASA. You never know what type of response you might get.

Get straight A's. Go to a college with a well-known college of physics. You need to start taking AP physics and any other science. If your school offers astronomy, take it.

Take your time. Go to University and never stop studying. PhD and nothing less will be needed.

take AP physics.
and tell your teacher how interested you are. he/she will proably write a pretty good rec for you if you do well in the class and show your interest in space.
