Background: I want to explain first why I'm asking this in the briefest way possible. I'm a High Schooler who needs to choose a major and college to go to, and I just want to choose the best major to match entrepreneurship. I'm being forced by my parents and counselor to choose more prestigious colleges like Stanford, my Restrictive Early Action, and I have a good enough portfolio to attend a good college (I know Stanford is a reach, but my parents want it).
Currently: I'm fine with working on my business while in college since dropping out is irrational right now, and I want to work hard enough so that my business allows me to drop out of college. I am currently working on a specialized skill to sell, web design, and I've already completed Fox's very detailed program and landed my first client. I want to sell this specialized skill for businesses for at least a year to interact with the market and get some experience before building a specialized product to sell.
I just need help with these questions:

I just need help with these questions:
- Is an MBA or business major even useful for entrepreneurs?
- Should I just major in STEM, specifically Computer Science?
- What colleges are good for networking?
- What other advice do you have?
