Whats the career that helps out in the making of consumer electronics? What is that profession called?

I was pondering the other day about what career I would like to take up when I get out of high school and realized that I do have an interest in the making of consumer electronics (Like mp3 players, and portable devices. Not so much computers). What kind of professions are there that would help in the making of this kind of stuff? Can someone give me a list of careers around this area and tell exactly what they do? Thanks in advanced for your answers.
I also would like to know what colleges would be good for this field and what courses in High School I should take. I know I’m just a freshman but I want to be prepared when I leave for a college.
Thanks for the answer marystoy_2000. I understand a little more about what i’m asking now. What if I wanted to design the housing of the product and how its organized?
Also, what would it be called if I wanted to be the Project Manager?
