Well.. Physicist?? :)

Hi all, my name Shahin (known as Shah),
I'm from Australia, and recently I've found i really enjoy
physics! :P.. anyway, i was just hoping (I'm only in year 8)
someone could give me an insight into the job of a
Physicist and tell me what requirements i need (Australian
requirements if possible :)
..
I have a very high general knowledge level, but i really want to
be good at something specific, and frankly, physics is very
interesting to me! This is probably what you guys would call
a "glory hunter" but i'd like to work at Cern.. HAHAHAHAAAA!
Anyway,
any replies would be verrryyy helpful!
THANKS!
Shah.
