CRJ-200 nailed it.
The only thing I would add is that it wouldn't hurt to also get a job at an FBO as a line person or customer service person (maybe while going to college and taking flight instruction). This will give you some ground floor experience in the non-flying aspect of aviation and also gain you some networking contacts for the future. In addition to the Regionals and the Majors, there is also a world of 135 Charter and Corporate flying that will possibly make use of this networking you've gained.
This is how I came up and I have no regrets. Being a corporate pilot was always my goal, and now I are one.
