(This is assuming you live in the US.)
First off, now is the time to take your SAT/ACT. (Different states require different tests. However, if you live someplace other than the Midwest, you're probably taking the SATs for college applications.)
I'm graduating college in May and I still don't know what I want to do once I get out of here. I'll be getting a BA in English/Creative Writing from a liberal arts school. I'll be getting one of those degrees that basically tells prospective employers that I'm educated.
The fun thing is, you don't have to decide exactly what you want to do now. I want to write, hence the English major. If you don't know yet, I suggest a liberal arts institution where you can play around in several different fields before deciding which one you want to major in.
You might also want to do some research on prospective career tracks. I know several chemistry majors who became testers in big corporations. I also know a computer science/English double major who runs an online zine. Anything's possible.
