Become a Physicist: Get a Ph.D & Job in Physics

[Allojubrious]

I would really like to become a physicist and would obviously like a Ph.D in physics. So I was wondering if somebody could tell me how to receive a Ph.D in physics? (particle physics to be more precise), what are excellent schools for physics? and how or where do I receive a job for physics?.
So if somebody could help me with this issue it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Scavenge the forums for answers to the 2nd question, they're everywhere!

3rd, get your PhD, get a post-doc, do amazing research, get noticed, apply to hundreds of jobs, hope to get one.
