Question: What should I chose as my college major?

As an upcoming high school junior and college waiting at my doorstep I need to decide on what im going to do with my life...
I like the general ideas of:
Law
Science- more leaning to the physics aspect.
Business
Economics
Politics
Finance
I think it would be fun to be a corporate lawyer, politician, CEO, Owning my own business, working for a research and design company..

Answer: If you want to be a lawyer then you could do any undergraduate degree and then go onto law school. It would be best to choose something you like doing. If you like business, pick any area of business that interests you; Business Administration, Economics, or Finance. or pick physics, which is sort of random on your list. If you defiantly want to go to law school then your undergraduate studies will most likely influence the field of law you study. I would major in finance or economics if I wanted to be a corporate lawyer because you would have a better understanding of how a business runs then a physicist. You seem to like the business fields more based on your list, but its up to you.

Question: I heard that there was a list of books that are must read for CEO's of fortune 500 companies?

I belive that it was the WallStreet Journal that had a list of all the books on bussiness, Personal Finance or other topics to read and which ones were worth CEO's or any successful individuals time. Does anyone know what list I'm speaking of?

Answer: Talking heads come up with lists of stuff they think others should do.

To make it to the CEO level, 99.9% of the CEO's know a lot more than some clown claiming to be able to give any tips to them, and if they dont, they have staffs to go to for specific knowledge.
