How would a 9th grader go about learning how to invent electronic devices? I really want to invent things like computers, handheld devices, game consoles, touch screen devices ect.. Any help would be appreciated  |

I'm really no expert at all, but if you are asking what you should study to learn how to independently develop electronic devices that do not currently exist or better versions of electronic devices that do currently exist, the field of knowledge that I personally would begin with would be physics - specifically the areas of electricity and magnetism. This should give you a good foundation of what you want to learn and help you to decide where to go from there.
I am not sure where you live or what your education system is like, but here in the United States most highschool students have an option to take free college courses during their highschool years. If your aim is to work for a company that develops the electronics you are interested in, I strongly suggest you take advantage of this college option as it will both cost you nothing and possibly get you finished with your degree two years sooner.
As far as the job market in these fields goes, I have no idea.
