Hello all, I am an aspiring physicist, however I am only in high school, and I live in Idaho, I need an adviser. Someone who can tell me what I need to know, best ways to learn things, and how to get to where I want to be. Any help is appreciated.

Wouldn't this be something that you ask your parents or teachers at school about? Are you assigned a faculty advisor?

(just asking)

I have asked my teachers they recommended that I check online as there is not many physicists in Idaho, and my parents have no clue. I am not assigned a faculty adviser.
 
Wait, so you're looking for an actual physicist to help mentor you?
