Hi, I am new to physicsforum so you probably don't know me. My name is Alexis, i am a guy, i just turned 16.
I love physics, especially Astro-physics.
I am still doing my IGCSE's, and I want to make sure I choose the right subjects for my A-Levels.
I chose: Physics, Pure Mathematics, English Literature, Computing, french. i might not take french and take statistics. i am not sure.

Now, I love astronomy and am always reading this forum, always getting updated with MIT opencourseware, always reading NASA website and check Astronomy-Picture of the day.

I really want to have all this in my career in the future, but i am not sure what kind of job i am aiming for. Theoretical Physisist sounds good but I really don't know that much about it.

The things I like: Astronomy, Physics, Computing, Mathematics.
I know as languages greek, german, english, french.

What could I do when I am older?
and to achieve this, what courses should I take, what Uni should I go to?

(ofc my favourite Uni's are MIT, Caltech).

I am very new to this, so pardon my language, I hope to achieve a Ph.D and get a nice job that I can enjoy throughout my life, what should I aim for.
Your advice will greatly Help me, so Thank You in advance!

if you want to contact me. I will check this post again tomorrow. Thank You very much.
And Hello PhysicsForum! :!!)
