Hi,
To give some background, I am about to hopefully start 2nd year of high school in telecommunications and I was considering transfering to computer science. But I would also like to start a career or some other job based around physics. How would I go about doing that? Should I start with an application to a college, providing some work or research, or should I attempt going for degrees before enlisting? I am unexperienced in education paths that I should be taking.
Thank you.

Is it possible to get a scholarship in other states, of this matter?
