Dude, you're in middle school. Spend time with your family, and focus on relationships and hobbies, there is no edge in preparing for your career 7 years before it happens. If you want to, focus on landing at a good college, which is highly competitive but your middle school and high school are most likely already chosen for you and the things that will most likely impact college will start happening 10th-11th grade in HS.

 

If you aren't interested by elementary school you're already behind the curve so you have some catching up to do.

In all seriousness though middle school is far too early to be considering job options that require college (bach min) education requirements. If you're really passionate about the space I would just focus yourself on academics you already laid out so colleges you're looking at which shows you do have ambition. Just focus on your grades while in high school and college but also focus on growing yourself outside of just academics. While there are the super savants that everyone deals with because the drive pnl a lot of the other jobs certainly for intern recruiting out of college at options mms and D1 HF spaces focus on technical aptitude but also the general sense of if we did offer a return to this person would I actually want to work with them?
 

 

I could see a high schooler posting this but no way a middle schooler. Your phrasing also makes it obvious you aren't in middle school. Usually found on Twitter from wannabe macro analysts, not kids who are just learning what a "penis" is.
