Hey guys! im currently a grade 11 Canadian student athlete, just finishing up my exams.
My courses are set up to be able to take almost any university course available, and i still cannot decide between, Law, Business, and Medicine, i have an interest in all three, but i can’t decide between them. I originally wanted to get into marketing ( i had a knack for it) but i lost interest when I worked at a marketing company over the winter. Im extremely interested in International law, but im worried there arent many jobs. ive always wanted to be a orthopedic surgeon, because im an athlete i had to make many trips to the surgens office and I think i would enjoy it, but i dont know if i can go through 8+ years of study before i start working. ive always been highly interested in venture capitalism, but i dont know how i would get into the industry. any advice or experience in these fields would be greatly appreciated

a little about me: (please excuse me if i seem arrogant at any point, i really dont mean to be )
as it stands i have a 94% average, (top 2 percent of my school) and im at the top of my class in English and biology and i scored a 2250 on my SAT (800 math, 750 CR, 700 writing), i am a dedicated elite athlete as well, i play on an internationally ranked baseball team, and will be playing for team canada next year, it consumes an outrageous amount of time (30+ hours a week of training and games) so i have no issue with high stress environments or time management. Im VERY charismatic, and im a natural leader (but i can follow as well), I love working with people. One of the biggest things for me is a VERY high annual salary, i want to die very wealthy, i know it sounds stupid, and shallow, but i come from a lower middle class family (single parent house hold, under $40,000 a year, in debt up to our eyeballs, lost our house in 2008) and i want a taste of the good life, i dont want myself, or my kids, or my kids kids to ever have to worry about money again. so what do you guys think (BTW I am most likely going to Harvard, a family friend works with admissions and can get my application to the top of the pile)
