I am sure you must enjoy few courses in the middle and high school.
If you are just an average student in all subjects, if you take Bus Admin may be the path you want to consider.
Decide whether it is Finance, Accounting or Economics or any other major that is offered.

I totally understand why you are asking this question. I would start with what interests you have outside of school. Then began to narrow down the activities that you enjoy and have a passion for. While also thinking of what you are already knowledgable in and would love to learn more about. Combining a passion with raw skill or talent and then enhancing that with a desire to learn more can lead you to a great career choice.

I was in this boat while I was in high school. I couldn't think of anything that I was passionate about that I could make into a career. Being good in math & science, I made a pragmatic decision and went to college to study engineering. Engineers are in demand and make decent money so I was comfortable with the decision.
Fast forward a handful of years into my professional career and I still wasn't passionate about engineering, so I made a career switch and got into something more business related.
So if you're looking for guidance, I'd say study something that has a practical application where you'd be able to land a job and pay off loans but along the way spend time thinking about what you're interested in and how to turn that into a career. The door won't be permanently shut if you study one thing in college but later want to work in a different field.
