Default What do I need to do?

Hello there. I am currently 18 years old(will be 19 in a month) and am attending a major state university. My dreams in life have shifted a few times, but recently I have really figured out that I want to fly. My goal in life is to become a captain and fly international routes, either commercial or freighter. My major is currently undecided. However, I was thinking about pursuing psychology, as this field fascinates me greatly. I have heard that it doesn't really matter what you major in, just as long as you have a degree in something. Anyway, I am really unsure about what I need to do. What kind of grades do I need to be making? Do I need to be in the top 10%? I am currently without a car, so I cannot take any flight courses as of this time. However, I will be getting one this fall. Should I take flight lessons while I am attending college? My ideal goal would be to graduate with a bachelors and already have whatever amount of hours are needed to be qualified to fly regional. I am hoping that people with some experience can perhaps assist me on what kind of path I should take. Thank you.
