How to become a Azure Solutions Architect

I am currently about to graduate high school and apply for a Bachelor's degree in Information Technology majoring in Computer Science. May I ask for advice on how to start my journey to become a solutions architect? Such as learning pathways, skills to develop, entry-level jobs that I can get hand-on experience with, and needed certifications.

Furthermore, I would like to know what it is like to become a Solutions Architect. Such as what is a typical day to day life as a solutions architect. Do you have the option to work remotely/hybrid? What is the work environment like?
