In summary, to become a Physicist, it is important to focus on developing a strong foundation in math and science during middle school. While it is not necessary to take advanced courses in high school, it can be beneficial. A minimum of a bachelor's degree in physics or a related field is required, but higher degrees may be necessary for certain positions. Middle school students can explore their interests in physics through summer programs and workshops, as internships and research opportunities are uncommon at this level. Important skills for a successful career as a Physicist include critical thinking, problem-solving, mathematical and analytical skills, and good communication skills.

I would like to be a psychologic-physicist, so I would like to know how can I steadily increase my area knowledge. For example, what do I need to understand to start calculus courses would be my first goal now. :radioactive:
