1) You can information about certifications here:
http://www.microsoft.com/learning/mcp/default.asp
2) Even if you know more than everyine else around you, without a 4 year
university degree in CS or CIS, it will be difficult to progress upward in
an IT department. You are probably still in high school, so you have plenty
of time to prepare for that.
3) I know you spend a lot of time studying, but remember to take time for
girls, sports and travel or else you will get burned out on computers before
your career even starts.
