1. Look into advertising or graphic design.
2. I would suggest majoring in marketing/advertising/ business, with a minor in english. OR majoring in Computer IT, with a minor in english. English is one of the best major/minors to have. But it is a hard major because some of your required courses are really hard.. and towards the end of your academic career in college, the classes get progressively harder, and the more papers you have to write. But a minor in English is versatile in the real world because it can be applied to Business, teaching, Law, and pretty much any other industry because having the appropriate correspondence is vital to a company. If you are creative, then something in marketing/advertising would be good for you. It'll allow you to be creative and make some good money if your ideas do lead to ad campaigns. But Computer IT, or IT networking is the next wave of open careers, especially with the current trends of new technologies coming out so quickly. Right now, if you have a working knowledge of certain systems, like Citrix, SQL, or if you are really good at FLASH, you are assured a job immediately. Really, you just want a major in anything, because with a degree you'll be able to get training in whatever job you end up getting.. But if you don't want to be limited, go for something in computers, with a minor in English or business. That way you'll be able to cover both technical careers and creative.
3. Go into marketing...
