Beginner Hacker

Hey everyone,

I'm going into senior year of high school and I've begun looking at potential careers. One career I've gotten stuck on is being a white-hat hacker (or a Information security analyst?). I have very little experience hacking but I have taken several computer programming courses so I have medium knowledge of languages such as Python, JavaScript, and C++. I am looking for a place to learn more about hacking or being a white hat, can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks!
