A word of warning - any degree that you choose now, no matter how much thought you put into it, you will at least doubt your first year at school.
But besides that, there are a few big things to think about when choosing a degree: first, what kind of work you want to put in during school, second, how you want to be living after school, and third, what kind of work makes you "flow". Different majors require different amounts of devotion to school while obtaining your undergraduate degree. For example, if you wanted to be a cartoonist, you could take a visual arts programme of study and as long as you learned what you needed to in class and didn't fail out of school, your grades wouldn't really matter. However, if you wanted to be a Lawyer, you have to work much harder to do much more academically-heavy work in government and history in your undergraduate degree and make sure that your grades are excellent, because you will need to get into a Law school after undergrad. Everyone knows that not only is admission to law schools tough, once you get there, it's even tougher. Also, to be a CEO, you will need at least a master's degree. This also requires more schooling.
Secondly, you need to decide how you want to be living after school. If you decide that grad school isn't for you and you would like to try and make it as a cartoonist with an art degree, you will have fewer job opportunities than, say, if you got your undergraduate in business, leading you to have less freedom in where you want to live and work. Also, if you are a lawyer, you will obviously make more money than if you are a cartoonist. However, it can be argued that perhaps the smaller amount of stress as a cartoonist would outweigh the fact that it would be less money.
Third and most important, you need to decide what kind of work will put you in your element and allow you to flow. Do you like working with a group of people towards a common goal, spending lots of time together and forming relationships, good and bad? Working at a business might be for you. Do you flourish when you are being creative? that says cartoonist all over. Do you find you "flow" when you are putting together a logical and persuasive argument for something, or do you like working independently? Maybe being a lawyer is best.

Whatever you do, don't stress about it yet. At most colleges, there are many courses you need to takein your freshman and most of your sophmore year that are required for every major - you still have time to decide. Try and vary your classes between different types of fields your first year - this will help you get a better idea of what you might want to do.

Art/business/political science! Actually, since you obviously haven't yet made that decision, it would make sense for you to start out by taking your general education classes, and you can get a closer view of what interests you in the meanwhile (by the way, no one starts out as a CEO; you go into business and years down the road, after many promotions or after founding your own company, you earn the title).
