the entertainment industry is highly competitive.
major in marketing minor in communications (or vice/versa) and take some good business courses too. some music courses as electives would not hurt for background.
you may not get the job of your dreams to start, but experience is a big plus, so maybe after a few years in another field you could get into the music industry.
also, once in college, work hard to get an internship in an entertainment-related company. go to the record label websites to see who offers internships so you can have a goal and know what exists.
you may want to consider a college in New York or Los Angeles to increase your opportunities for exposure/interships in the ent. field.
good luck!
