Weather it's reading articles,watching debates (online) or listening to podcasts I LOVE science!
Hours each week spent learning everything I can about all kind of topics & now I am wondering what's the next step?

Which field of science to peruse ? Nothing is more interesting than space ... also nothing makes me feel dumb as quickly than space science.
With climate change being so important ( for me it makes everything els seem irrelevant ) where could I have an impact?
Is the path to becoming a scientist the same for biologists as it is for a meteorologist or geographer?
Also can anybody tell me why one question always multiplies by a factor of a metric f*** tone ?

Essentially, yes.
You will need to study the basic subjects, at secondary school level, that are part of your chosen area, eg maths & physics for physics. Then you will need to study your chosen area in depth eg at degree level.
First you need to choose your specialism

no matter what subject you master. you need to try to discover new things. that makes you scientist

..you need to try to discover new things. that makes you scientist

There are some people who practice science, and are therefore scientists, but do not discover new things.

It's all about  how you think, rather than what you think about.

You can appear in various entrance exams as per your preferences. For admissions in Indian Institute of Technology (IITs), you must have qualified the JEE Main and JEE Advanced examination.

I am currently studying Chemical engineering and plan to do an MS abroad followed by a PhD. The academic requirements for becoming a scientist is to study science and have a strong foundation when you are in school, the  take either engineering or honors in a science subject and then start with research. But more importantly be in love with it.

You need the basics to understand it but you have to burn for it and you need the willing to be ready to find out how things work or if they work different than you heard before. Be open minded!
