I either want to be a theoretical physicist or a roboticist.
I have great interest in electronics, physics, maths, programming, and robotics. I kind of want to do both but then can I get phds in both at the same time? Because I don't want to be 90 years old when I have finished university. I really don't know much about careers.
I heard being a theoretical physicist wont get me that much money, but I have a real passion for that sort of stuff.
Anyone know something about careers that can tell me something?

Why not call the local university and ask to interview a professor or two in these fields. You can ask them about magazines to read, career paths, all sorts of things. Also ask for names of other people to interview and keep doing this until you get the answers you need. I'd also read "What Color is Your Parachute" for some guidance on finding a career.

One PhD will do you as they are often many opportunities doing post-doc stuff in fields outside your dissertation - as mentioned discuss with people working in the field to give you a better idea - or go into electrical/mechanical engineering to play with both -

I like the answer before about interviewing people, make sure you know which ones "do" things in their field, and which ones just "write about it"....could be a deciding factor!
