What high school courses and college paths should I be focusing on?

Hello everyone! I am currently an 8th-grade student preparing to enter 9th grade, and my long-term career goal is to become a dermatologist. Since I am about to start high school, I want to make sure I am setting myself up for success early. I would love to get your advice on a few things: High School Courses: Which AP, IB, or advanced science and math classes should I prioritize over the next four years? College & Pre-Med: What should I look for in a university or undergraduate program to best prepare me for medical school? Are there specific majors you recommend? Extracurriculars & Tips: What can I do outside of the classroom (like volunteering, shadowing, or clubs) to build a strong background? Thank you so much for your time and guidance!

How to become a mortician/embalmer?

I am a senior in high school, graduating spring of 2027. I hope to attend a nearby community college (only one in my state with this degree I can find). I plan to become an embalmer, and have taken Chemistry, Anatomy, Biology, and am currently taking Accounting (for the business side of things). I am unable to take Physcology, but I am taking sociology (for the grief side of things). Is there any other courses or research topics anyone would recommend? I do plan on someday owning, or at least managing a morgue. Also, I have read about interviews to get into the program. What sort of questions should I be prepared to answer? Many thanks!

How to choose a major properly? Is there a way be sure it is the one?

I'm a senior high school student. I love biology, and math (other science subjects are intersting for me but not fascinating like the ones above). Right now I`m thinking between medicine and biomedical engineering. Anatomy out of all biology topics interests me the most. But I`m also a fan of Math and I think there is not much of it when beeing a doctor. On the other hand, BME is much more unclear for me and not that defined. I`ve read the descriptions and different field they work in, but I`m still not sure if it`s that promising for the future, while being a doctor is clearly shown everywhere to be a great job, with great output. I`d like to know how the insides work in BME, and if there is a way to know if i`ll be interested in it. Would be greatful for any feedback from people working in these fields.
