losing your virginity could be a start
No need for this, clearly just ambitious and probably will end up in a great spot in a few years
my point was that social skills are easier to pick up in HS, whereas technical ones are much easier when older
...If that’s what you meant then I think you can touch up on your social skills as well
I think that maths/programming is always helpful. Try taking part in extracurricular activities too
No need to do anything drastic - would recommend reading some of the classic IB/Finance novels to get an idea of some of the nuances of the industry, they also help you build up a base of knowledge about the history of the industry in general, might offer some perspective on the sort of area you might look to get into down the line. Examples - Liars Poker, Monkey Business, Too Big Too Fail, When Genius Fails, The Big Short etc
Thanks, will definitely start reading these.
