Blake, I'll agree with the other guys on their recommendations, but will ramble with a few of my own thoughts. I'm sure there are people your age who know what profession or occupation they want to pursue and stay with that decision, but I think many of them start with one thing in mind and then change their mind, sometimes more than once, before they finish college (yep, I was one of those and I've know many others). So . . ., unless colleges have changed a great deal since I was involved (which of course is a good possibility), certain "basic" courses are required for any degree, without regard to what your major may be. I recommend that anyone starting in college begin with English, Math, and American History classes. First reason is that I think those classes will be required no matter what degree you eventually pursue, so get them out of the way early. Second reason is that if you master "reading, writing, and arithmetic" then it'll be easier to learn anything else you want to know.
