Triple Major

Currently I am considering triple majoring in Japanese, Global Studies, and English. I plan to teach English in Japan for a few years after college. After which, I am considering to either continue to teach English or become a translator. I figure I will need a strong knowledge base in both the Japanese and the English languages for either of these jobs. In addition, global studies would enable me to gain a greater understanding of other cultures and parts of the world as well as having a primary focus on Japan.

To me, these majors mesh well together and would all contribute to my desired job after college. I am currently a high school senior, but I have been taking all college classes this school year. Because so, I have a good amount of my generals covered and I will have a year of Japanese completed. In addition to those credits, I have AP test scores of 4 for biology and human geography, and I have some CLEP credits towards pre-calculus, college algebra, and Spanish.

So here is my question, does pursuing this triple major seem unreasonable? I am hoping to be able to do it in four years. I realize this may be tough, but I will have already taken a year of college through PSEO in addition to AP and CLEP tests, and I am prepared to take some summer classes if necessary.
