On average, how much schooling is required for this profession? If one were to graduate with a bachelor’s in physics, is there a specific degree for astronomy to pursue when going to grad school?

Life beyond high-school
Life beyond high-school I am currently a junior in high-school and they weren't lying when they said junior year would be a tough year. It's not too, too, bad but ap biology is kicking my behind right now. On top of that I'm not sure of what I would like to do after high-school. I know that I'm going to the army reserves but for college I'm very undecided. I am strongly thinking the medical field but I'm undecided which specialty. Before I wanted to be a pediatrician, I love kids but do I want to make it a profession taking care of kids? Im not sure myself. I'm more interested in behavior and the mind(minus surgery). I was thinking psychiatry, but even then I'm not too sure. I think i may need one on one shadowing with individuals in these fields before deciding on a decision. Any advice for me will be greatly appreciated.
