for experience before I move onto graduate school.

I'll be starting college this fall, and thinking about majors. Possibilities: (biology for predental, economics)
 
Lots of jobs in the business world that do not specifically require some other major such as accounting or engineering. You could could do lots of miscellaneous analyst jobs (market research analyst, risk analyst, business analyst, etc). Anything relating to marketing or sales. Project management, account management, etc.

FWIW, the advice I give youngsters is to double-major. Why not? Start early, plan ahead, you can do that in 4 years, probably. Don't know why more people don't do it -- you double your chances to find a job. You might pick one very marketable discipline (like computer science or accounting) and then one cool academic area you are interesting in, like history or economics.
 
Unless you major in a technical field like engineering or computer science you probably will not use much of what you studied as an undergraduate in your job, but only the ability to reason and communicate that you develop in college. You might as well major in what you like because you will be a better student if you enjoy what you are doing. Just make sure you develop computer and writing skill and part of you studies.
