My goal is to be able to get a Phd in physics and do research, particularly in theoretical physics. Most of the posts I've seen so far have been very depressing on this subject. I am in my sophomore year of high school, straight A's all honors core classes (or ap if available). I've talked with a professor of theoretical physics to do research with him this summer, but is there anything else I should be doing to raise my chances of being able to get a career in research, and are the chances of getting a postdoctoral position in research really as small as they seem?
