I would favor the educational path that would give the broadest overview of society and its current needs. I would mix that formal education with exposure to environments that would assist in developing a very strong “street sense”. Finally, I would evaluate my own interests and concentrate on those that would provide a good wage and would be “fun” to work with. After that, I would put my head down, work hard and have fun doing something that would meet my personal objectives.

Education, by itself, is like a set of blinders on a horse. It is beneficial only when one understands himself sufficiently enough to set and obtain goals which are not only enjoyable, but also beneficial to society. Good luck at whatever your passion may be!

I would say that a Business degree (Business Management, Business Administation, etc) would be your best bet, possibly with a Communications minor because it would help you be competitive against all the others with Business degrees. You could always double major too if there’s time in your schedule. Since you’re interested in investments and such, a minor in Economics might also be helpful, but you should get exposure to that with your Business major if you decide to do that.

For your second question, I think graduate school would definitely be a great idea for the future. However, you may want to get a job first in order to get experience before choosing a master’s program. It may give you a little advantage against the other students applying to the program. Also, some corporations or businesses may pay for you to get you MBA so you may want to look into something like that. Graduate school can be expensive!

Good luck with all you endeavors!

Business Administration covers more than Economics & Communication, although it does include these. I think Business Administration is your best choice.
