Minimum requirements: The concepts of Calculus, Chemistry, Physics, Thermodynamic Theory, Kinematics, a tad bit of computer science, and courses in a specialized field.
Electrical Engineer. And what I'm learning in high school? I get to laugh at how much I'll actually be needing. Just the things I love to do ... And I can say "screw" the English teachers who get mad at me for not liking to read books / not normally read / take their class / not really care for what I'm learning in there.
There's been an interesting variety on this thread. Practically speaking, I may become a physician (hopefully cardiology or dermatology). I love the flexibility in terms of location that medicine gives you and would certainly enjoy the fiscal benefits of the profession. I've also considered being a classicist/archaeologist, as I really enjoy classical culture and mythology. But I don't really feel committed to anything yet. I don't think high school students should have their whole lives planned.
Lawyer (International Law; Entertainment Law (film and tv))
Politician (Senator then Secretary of State!!!!)
Diplomat/Foreign Service Officers/Ambassador (At least 10 yrs abroad then under secretary to a foreign region then Secretary of State!!!)
logicx: I know a quant! Really nice and totally not like the stereotype. We play basketball after school and he helps with my math homework.
When I was little I really wanted to be an archaeologist, but my parents didn't think it was the most amazing idea for various reasons. Now (I know I've posted on here before but I've refined it) my dream (moneymaking) realistic career would be a psychiatrist (if I survived med school without fainting from the blood) or psychologist, in either case specializing in young children, and to double major in early childhood education and work as a preschool teacher or assistant while I work on my PhD/MD (though probably not MD, because I've never heard of anyone who had time to work in med school). I'd also minor in history.
