Would going into Business Law be a good idea?

I'm a Jr. in High School and I'm just trying to be proactive by getting details about careers that I have interests in. I want to go into the Business field, but it seems pretty iffy, starting salaries aren't great for most starting employees and of course the economy isn't all that great for the job market. So if you wanted to go into Business Law, what majors/ minors are required/recommended? Political-Science, Business, Economics….? And how competitive is becoming a lawyer? I'm not the greatest student but I consider my self to be an intellectual (3.2 GPA in High School, but a 30 ACT) I plan on going to a decent university like Indiana University-Bloomington or University of Illinois-Champaign-Urbana. How tough is Law-School? And what is the avg. starting salary? I know it's not all about the money, but after years of debt from college and grad school it would be nice to make 6 figures. thank you.
