I was actually an astronaut in a past life and I just watched Transformers: Dark side of the moon! There is actually a career path... the only issue is that the obvious route through the US space program has now closed and perhaps a bigger problem is that you need to be a US citizen. Having said that there are increasing EU options so you never know what will happen.
I would suggest you concentrate on getting the best grades you can in a Science, engineering or Maths degree. If you want to a specific Pilot role then you are likely to need experience of flying in the military before you make the transition...
