Any and EVERY science class imaginable in HS.
Cause when you get to college you have a long road ahead of even more Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Anatomy classes.

Classes that are helpful are the sciences, english and public speaking!

2) If you plan everything correctly you can graduate pharm school when you are only 23 years old
3) Starting salary is 75-150k depending on location and need
4) You do not have to deal with blood
5) You will finish faster than your medical school student counterparts
6) You will always have a job, even if you;re 99 year old
7) Most jobs are 9-5 meaning that you will get to have a family life

I was interested in becoming a peditrician to until i found out that it was 12+ years of college, so now I am going into pediatric nursing which is basically the same thing but you have more one on one relationships with the kids. But you want to take anatomy, psychology, all your basic classes, but once you get in college they will help you figure out what classes but in high school take those they will help you get prepared.

Lots of science for any medical major. Try Chemistry and Biology(Advanced Placement if possible). If it is specifically pediatrician you are looking for, if you school offers it, take a child development class.

Take as many science classes as you can in high school. When you get to college, talk to an advisor, but you'll probably major in premed or in something like biology.
Good luck.

besides the classes you might also want think about the EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES that are considered during college admissions. nobody seemed to hit that topic but if you want to go to any major university the competition will be high. you won't become a doctor by community college alone. with so many kids graduating high school on the honor roll you might need to show more than "just a 4.0".
maybe see if a college admissions employee can tell you what they look for besides just the grades. you can probably get this advice from a local community college as they help many students transfer to universities.

You have to go to med school to become a pediatrician, it's a specialty in the medical field (you need to obtain a PHD). I'd work hard to get into as many AP classes as you can in high school, and in college you'll have your courses laid out for you by a counselor as to what is needed to prep you for med school (post graduate school).

Anything you take in high school DOES NOT effect your career outcome. Take classes at a local community college (SR YEAR) to get a jump start on your general requirements (aka frosh courses). You will have to go to med school for that job. You are looking at about 8-10 years of college ahead of you....HAVE FUN!

Biology, anatomy, Psychology, Math, Physics.
In college, you'll have your classes picked up already.
