I'm currently 15 and a sophomore in high school. My career goal is to go to college to be a Computer Hardware Engineer, and hopefully design processors for Intel. My question is, what programming languages should I learn that would help me when I'm designing these circuits? I guess what I'm trying to say is for intel specifically what languages are used to program the CPUs? Would a minor in computer science be beneficial to my career?

Thanks.

As far as I know, CPUs aren't "programmed", they are designed and that has much more to do with electronics than actual programming. For example, here is how an addition is electronically made: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adder_(electronics).

As for career path, make sure you ask around what degree leads to what kind of jobs; designing CPUs (the high-end kind found in PCs and mobiles) is probably stuff people with master degrees or even PhDs do, it's complex beyond belief as you have to account for many laws of physics.
