    Excited, not exited

    High school is pretty much mapped out for you. You should take four years of sciences, four years of English, four years of math, and also history, maybe a psych or soc class, and definitely a language for as many as four years. Latin or German would be good, if either is offered. Spanish would be another choice.

    In college, you spend the first two years taking core classes required by the college. In junior year, you declare a major and can begin to specialize. You may want to become a medical examiner or teacher or psychologist by that time.

    biology = plants and animals
    zoology = animals
    botany = plants

    Are you good enough for an orchestra? It sounds awfully boring. Zoologist sounds like you'd be able to travel and meet tons of professionals and ordinary citizens (and educate them) and be with animals that are fascinating.

    Your right just because I would be a zoologist doesn't mean I still can't play clarinet right?

    Of course, playing the other side, many zoologist work in a lab or office and don't travel or go anywhere, and a clarinet player may be in a band and travel the world playing at jazz clubs or other venues.

    Either one will take years of work and study.

    Or you become a zoologist who plays in clubs on the weekend.

    Assuming you are young ( sorry you sound young)
    Many people even starting first year of college seldom end up doing the job they think they are going to do.
