How does one become a successful pathologist?

<p>Hi! I'm new to this community and I was wondering about the road to becoming a medical pathologist (NOT speech pathologist) and life as one. I couldn't find a lot of helpful sites about this so I came here. Thanks! I am a junior in high school by the way.</p>
