Answer 1

I think you're too young now to focus on only one thing. If it's the money that motivates you, life isn't about money itself, but what you do with it for yourself and others. You still a lot of time to think of what you want. Maybe in the near future you'll be interested in a sport that you're great at. Maybe you'll find out your a science whiz. Maybe you'll receive a best actor award in your high school play. Anyway, my point is that you still have time to think of what you'll want to do with your life. I do, however, admire the fact that you already have that in mind. Good luck and continue to keep dreaming. Remember what Eleanor Roosevelt said, "The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams."

Answer 2

You should start by learning about an industry that interests you.
When you are old enough to get a work permit, get a part time job sweeping floors or whatever you can do to get involved in that industry.
Never pass up an opportunity to discuss with the guys "in the business".
When your friends are wasting their time home from college in the summers, get an internship in the industry you care about.

You will leapfrog everyone if you really learn the business, work harder than everyone else, and really want it. It's a lot easier than people make it sound.
