I guess you don’t want to become a scientist, but you do want to know more about a specific topic.
At a high school level the advice is the same for everyone. Study hard, do well, there is nothing like good grades to give you options.

I’d say go for it. Pick the maths and science subjects at school, but also investigate books and websites and youtube for different science information. This will help you get a feel for whether you like working with animals, or studying astronomy or physics, or chemistry. you don’t have to decide which area just yet. I loved chemistry at school, but started uni doing archaeology, then physics, then astrophysics, then science communication and now I do environmental statistics. So just follow what you love and do well in 🙂

My advice is do what you love to do. Don’t think about money or anything else just pick the subjects you like most. If you follow your heart and your not lazy and you’re determined to be successful in what you love then you will get there.
If you enjoy a science class then pick it as one of your modules, make sure you study hard and watch nature documentaries (they’re a fun way to learn!) but don’t bite off more than you can chew! I knew a boy who chose four difficult subjects when in college (maths, chemistry, physics and biology) but doing four was too much for him and his overall grades suffered as a result. He could have just picked three if he had known his limits and gotten better grades.

The other scientists all have great points. I would also high recommend that when you get to university (in your holidays) you try to volunteer in different science organisations to get as much experience as you can. This will also help you find the field of science you like.

Hi reddwarf3705,
Volunteering, as Shona mentioned, is a great way to learn if you would really like to do a certain career. I volunteered at the Melbourne Museum and loved it so much that I applied for a job there and got it! It’s also great to ask as many questions as you can to people with a job that you think you might like. That’s why ‘I’m a scientist’ is such a valuable experience for students.
