I am currently in 9th grade, and am amazed by science. Since middle school science has by far been my favorite academical class. I haven't taken physics and chemistry yet, but I very much look forward to it. So far in high school I have taken Earth Space Science Honors, and received a 92%A as my final, and currently I am taking Biology Honors and have a 94%A. In middle school I took Physical Science and remember it being the most interesting and thought-provoking class I have ever taken, in that class my final grade was the highest possible a 100%+A. I plan on going to college and studying science and hopefully will end up working as a scientist. I know science and math work hand-and-hand and I am not as good in math I received a 85%B in Algebra I, and currently I am taking Geometry and have a 100%A. What are some of the general requirements for working as a scientist? Does obtaining a job as a scientist require a high intellectual level? My IQ is currently only 116.
