How to get in the gaming industry and what jobs are there to offer? Any experience needed?

In 11th grade (Junior) in high school. I’m really interested in going into the gaming industry. All my life, I have had nothing but a passion for games and movies. Going into the industry would be a dream. I’m clueless as to how to get into it though. What do I go to college for and what jobs are there within the gaming field? And how much do they pay? Please any links or additional info would be helpful. Thanks!
