In summary, the best way to pursue a career in theoretical physics is to start with a strong foundation in mathematics and physics, and then to continue learning through advanced coursework and research opportunities. Networking with established physicists and staying up-to-date with current research and developments in the field is also crucial. Gaining experience through internships and collaborations, as well as publishing papers and presenting at conferences, can help to establish a strong reputation and open up opportunities for further career advancement. Additionally, pursuing a higher education degree, such as a PhD, is often necessary to secure a position in academia or research institutions. Persistence, dedication, and a passion for the subject are key qualities for success in this competitive field.

I like physics I guess...one of my biggest goals is to become an accomplished theoretical physicist.

Nah, who am I kidding, I just like studying physics, and maths really but the two really come together most of the time so it's win-win for me.
But hey, at least I'll try xD.
