Breaking into the publishing scene.

At the ripe age of 18, it is time to consider my university and life choices. It is my ambition to work in the area of publishing however what under-graduate degrees do I need to take? Where can I attain suitable work experience/volunteering for this? Any suggestions? Please feel free to advise me? Thank you!

Suggest you check out The Society of Young Publishers (http://thesyp.org.uk/) for good resources. Degree wise, nothing specific, though English seems the obvious one if you're going to work with books all your life.
