You do not have to study pre-med to get in med school. If you know what med school you might go to. Look at their requirements to get in. Most require 1 yr bio, 1 yr physics, 1 yr physical chem, 1 yr organic chem, Calc. 1, anatomy. Some common majors for people going to med school usually are biology, chemistry, physics, and engineering. I am an engineering student. Alot of med schools like med students who have majored in biomedical engineering. It not only teaches the fundamentals of the body, but engineers are taught to be problem solvers which really can put you ahead in med school.
On the the bureau of labor and statistics website there is a book called the Occupational Outlook Handbook. It gives in detail all sorts of information on many careers. It includes schooling needed, job outlook, work environment, salary, demand, etc.

in simple terms take standard college prep curriculum instructions - you may take each thing to get into college - focusing on extreme college in something is pointless and meaningless - you will learn greater appropriate stuff on your first 2 yrs of school than you discovered in all your years in grade college and highs college mixed you're talking scientific college after 4 yrs of school and you may get familiar into med college first
