As a 17 year old kid what should I do as a person also aspiring to study neuroscience to become a neurosurgeon?
I already study it in my free time, do a lot of research about it, and have many medical books, etc. However, having genuine knowledge from an experienced doctor could help me. Even if they aren't in the same medical field as I am, or striving to go into the same field as I am. If there's anyone who is capable of helping me I'd be open to communicating and listening.

What advice would you give to a high school student wanting to change career paths?
I am a rising 11th grader, who originally wanted to pursue aerospace engineering since elementary school. Due to this, I have taken high school courses that aligned with the STEM path, such as engineering design and physics. However, as I researched more I found out that there aren't many opportunities (non-US Citizen in Texas) for me. Recently, neuroscience has sparked an interest in me and I looked more into becoming a neurologist. I haven't taken chemistry or classes that relate to this field such as anatomy. I am currently in a dilemma choosing between aerospace and neuroscience, and do not know how to address this as I am approaching my last two years of high school.
