I want to be an architect when I reach working age. Any pointers?

Okay. So I'm an eighth grader, only a few months from transitioning into ninth grade, or the start of high school. All of this stuff about preparing for our lives has gotten me deeply interested in my future. It's still a fluctuating opinion, but I have decided to pursue a career in the field of architecture. I'm very interested designing things (not like clothes, and decorations, but houses). I also would like a part-time job as an author. I've been told I was gifted with writing on several occasions. I know I would enjoy this occupation. So, I have some other questions about the subject too. What would be a great architecture school? I wish to attend a school like Harvard. I know they have an architecture program (Harvard School of Design). But any other options would be greatly accepted. How much money does an architect make on average? The U. S. average, because I'm unsure about my residence in the future. If you are an architect, do you complete your jobs daily necessities, loving every moment of it? What are your opinions of the field of architecture? Do you find it interesting? I've always found modern architectural design intriguing, and architecture of the ancient world extremely fascinating. The only freshman classes remotely related to architecture are Computer Aided Design (they make the blue prints), Art 1, and Construction Core (plumbing, building, etc.). I'm aiming at taking Computer Aided Design and art, but would you recommend I take Construction Core? I'm almost for sure I wouldn't be interested in most of the things in the class. Definitely not plumbing... Any answers will be happily accepted. Thanks!
