Might as well get your gen-eds out of the way while you're deciding IMHO. When I was in college a few years ago, they said 80% of students change their major or minor during college, so it's not super important that you know exactly what you want to do with your whole life before you get there, and if you're trying to decide, it's helpful to have professors around to talk to who've had careers in a variety of industries and fields of study.

Also, be sure to check all your scholarships--a friend of mine in high school was an LDS, so he had to take two years off, and he ended up losing most of his scholarship money because it was earmarked for graduating seniors starting college immediately.

Just my two cents.
