Learning QFT: How to Progress & Suggestions for Senior in High School

[Gross_joshka]

Hi guys. It's my first post here so I am not sure how this works but I'll give it a try. So I'm a senior in high school and I'm trying to progress my way up to learning QFT. I was wondering what I should do next in my series of things to learn. So far, I've learned the following:
1. Regular mechanics at a university level (Halliday/Resnick level if you like)
2. Most of E&M at the griffiths level; I skipped some bits here and there but I got the main stuff down like Maxwells eq.'s, etc.
3. Quantum mechanics at the level of Griffiths but I haven't learned the later chapters on the wkb approx. and scattering and stuff like that
I also know lin. Alg., calculus of course, and some tensor calc/differential geometry (I studied some lecture notes on GR a while back). So how should I proceed so I can learn QFT? Right now, I am learning the classical mechanics with the lagrangin and hamiltonin formalisms, etc. So that is useful and also getting me acquinted with variational calc. As for relativity, I only know it to the extent of the chapter in Griffiths E&M book. I really think i should learn complex analysis after the mechanics and somewhere want to learn stat. Mech. But i really don't know as there are many directions I can go. Suggestions would be helpful. Thank you

First of all, I feel silly as a senior in undergrad at the same level of knowledge as a senior in high school.

What I can tell you though, is that you will need to know E&M more than just "the main stuff". You'll need to know it in depth.
