Answer 1

I would worry about getting into a good college, take on a few jobs that are in a similar field to what you may have interests in. Take on some interns, etc. I was determined to be a Dr. in high school, but once I got into college I realized that everyone else had the same idea, and it just wasnt for me. I found a job online and began working with children with autism doing behavior therapy. I am 24 now and have a CAREER with a decent salary working organizing home programs for children with autism. I love my work and hope to do it the rest of my life. Look up ABA behavior therapy, or DTT,or positions working with children with autism. This is an exploding field due to the unfortunate rise in children being diagnosed with autism (1 in every 166 children born will be diagnosed with some form of autism) and also a very new field that is almost always looking for dedicated therapists. You might be interested due to your interest in analyzing the behavior of other and interest in helping better others lives.

Answer 2

what ever you decide, make sure that it is something that you can enjoy and be passionate about.
I always wanted to be a R.N, after starting I realized that I couldn't dissect a frog in high school, what made me think that I could do that to a human being, changed my major to B.A and am now running my own business.(NATIVE AMERICAN INDIAN JEWELRY) something I am passionate about and enjoy doing.
hope this helps you decide which direction to go.

GOOD LUCK!!!!
