I will be. Going to take as many classes in High School that are helpful towards that as I can. Like Physics, oh and we get to go to Cedar Point at the end of the year

I considered engineering until I got into the band, which changed my life around (plus I had only a "B" average in math at that time).

Maybe that will change once I get to college, though.

I'm majoring in computer science beginning next year. I was convinced i'd be mechanical for the longest time based on K'Nex and other buidling materials i was always using, but after i found coding i loved it. I'm considering specializing in robotics to maintain a bit of mechanical and to incorporate some simple electrical engineering as well, but nothing too over the top, at least initially.

Engineering is something I really want to do. But I am also currently buying and selling stocks. ( 13 year old in the stock exchange FTW)

It's related, but it is not engineering in the pure sense.

Man, really, I don't care too much about the pay of whatever I do, just as long as I enjoy it and I can still have money to live.
I really am motivated to become a mechanical, computer, or software engineer.

Definitely! I really enjoy math and problem solving and would be happy in any engineering field, though I'm leaning more towards mechanical or civil.

Engineering means you get paid in pennies for the most part.

I want to design the trains for coasters. Not sure what type of engineering that would be, mechanical? I would love to do like ^ and do theme park management also.

I am not really sure. It would involve several types of engineers most likely.
