Wanting to be a plant worker?

I know this is a while to go but i am currently a sophomore in highschool. I recently has a sudden interest in working in a plant. But there is one major problem i have. I know nothing about plants...i dont know how to prepare or what to expect in working. I really dont even know what kind of jobs they have. I know you need to take some kind of industrial classes in college but that is about it. Im thinking of attending a community college and either then moving straight into work or going into a university( dont just tell my i should get more education after because it is better with more experience). Anybody has some websites or help on:

1. What kind of jobs plants have to offer

2. What kind of classes would help in highschool and what kind i need to take in college

3. What should i expect when going to work.

Any websites and people with experience is appreciated! Thanks

    Just generally, I would probably look at things like electronics, robotics, computers, or mechanical engineering, these are where the high paying jobs are.

    Maybe you could look in to visiting some factories where you think you'd like to work like auto plants, canning factories, things like that. But the biggest demand would be to keep robotic/automated equipment operating, and in programming the equipment. You could be a welder or a machine equipment repairman. Lots of things to do in factories.

    in USA , visit BLS.gov/OOH for career/jobs

    that are in demand.

    visit librarys for books on the careers.

    visit local community colleges for dozens

    of careers that lead to work locally.

    as for Univ/colleges that aren't needed in many

    industrys.

    do your local learning b4 wasting money for 'education'
