Hello Jack. The three requirements to become president are that you be a naturally born American citizen, have lived in the United States for 14-years, and that you be at least 35-years old.
Beyond that, there is no set path. Most Presidents have graduated from law school, though I believe few were ever actually practicing attorney's. Since networking and political influence are a huge part of politics, it probably also helps to attend an "Ivy League" school (Harvard, Yale, Princeton, etc.). If law doesn't interest you, you might still find success in another profession like graduating business school or medical school. There has never really been a blue-collar president, so being a firefighter or something like that is probably not a great path to take if you want to be president. That said, some presidents served in the military when they were younger, and that tends to be viewed positively by most citizens. Especially if you don't have the means to pay for an Ivy League education, you might try to become a military officer first. The military can help pay for you to go through law school, medical school, or get another degree.
I hope that helps. Good luck. Continue to dream big! Make sure that when you become president you are a fair and ethical leader that represents the people that elected you.
