I think you have “self-selected” yourself right out — yes, out — of journalism. If you don’t read the newspaper to comes to your house, clearly you have no interest in current affairs, in news or in how the mass media works, so it is best if you look for some other field.
If you truly were interested in journalism, then you would read that newspaper — maybe three or four of them — every day. Hate to be harsh, but that’s the way it is.

Since you still have two years of high school left, you should do all the experimenting you can now. Start reading the newspaper and see if you would like to write the things you are reading. Join your high school paper, or see if you can get an internship with a local paper.
Honestly, the only way to find out if journalism is right for you is to try it.
If you’re going in for the money, get out. You won’t find happiness in journalism if you’re chasing money, because the journalists that get paid a lot are the unhappy ones who don’t do real reporting (ie. most big news anchors)
But journalism is an extremely rewarding job. Though you won’t be rich, you will be experience-rich. Being a journalist makes the world your oyster. You can travel anywhere, and right a wide variety of articles. You can rwrite a travel piece about swimming with sharks, or you can write an investigative piece about a political scandal. The opportunities are endless.
I recommend you give it a try.

The best way for you to find out if you’d like journalism as a profession is to go to your local paper and throw yourself at their feet. Most newspapers will take high schoolers as interns, and some will even pay. In return, you come in afternoons and evenings, do some proofreading, maybe get roped into inputting press releases and obituaries – but most importantly, you’re there in the thick of things, close to reporters of all kinds when they have time to talk.
At least read the newspaper’s Web site before you ask, though. It won’t kill you to read any newspaper at least once a week. You might even spot areas where you know your specific skills and interests could fit.
If they take you, you get a foot in the door, a chance to impress an editor who’ll remember you wherever s/he ends up, and a warts-and-all look at the profession.
Note that I specifically said newspapers – TV stations tend to be both pickier about interns and less willing to involve interns in substantial work. It’s not difficult to move between newspapers and TV, and the line between them is blurring anyway as papers move more into Internet video and audio and TV stations do more writing online.
One last thing: It doesn’t matter what college degree you get. The best reporters I’ve worked with did not have journalism degrees – more important was their experience with student media and their portfolios.
