What are the requirements to get into a career in IT?

I need help choosing a career?

• Hi, I'm a 14 year old girl and am going into my freshman year of high school next year. One of the requirements of entering high school is that we need at least 5 ideas of what we want to do as a career. I'm so lost. The highest GPA I've ever gotten is 3.8, so you could say I'm pretty smart. My parents want me to go into a medical career or a legal career, such as a lawyer because they think I like arguing too much and have to win. I think legal is too much for me and that I'm not smart enough to achieve it, as for medical it isn't what interests me. But, this is my career, not theirs. i LOVE animals, but I don't want to be a veterinarian because, of the low income and the fact that you have to see sick animals all day long depresses me. I LOVE children, and babysit a lot, I enjoy doing research essays, and school projects on a poster board. I'm so lost; i just need some ideas. I want to go to a four year college, or above and get a good career; I want to make around $90,000-$110,000 a year maybe? I've thought about going into nursing careers, and that's what I'm leaning towards, I just need more ideas. Thanks.

• Answer:

  Become a radiologist. It takes 4 years of undergraduate college, than 4 years of medical school. Once you are finished with medical school you have to complete a 5 year residency program. Upon completing the residency program you have a choice to complete a 1-2 year fellowship program on top of that. I wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors as a radiologist.
