Don't know anything about business (also, evaluate my freshman year)

What degrees are typical of those who want to go into finance (investment banking, hedge funds) and/or business?

Also, take a look at my schedule for next year:
Pre-AP Algebra II
Pre-AP English II
Pre-AP Chemistry
AP World History
Tennis team
Pre-AP German III
Pre-AP Computer Science
Intro to Engineering

Now, as you can see, that is the most rigorous schedule possible. There is one problem with it, and that is in the last line. I have to take Computer Science for my 1 year of tech credit, and I probably will go for another year if I am okay with it so that I can take the AP test.

In the last line, the engineering course. Now engineering involves math, so would this technically be the best course I can take for business? It is also counted as an honors class so it will help increase my rank. I can replace it with the following:
Debate (there is Debate I, Debate II, and Debate III, they do competitions)
Psychology (after psychology comes AP psychology, but I don’t think colleges care much for it)
Sociology (I have no clue)
Academic Decathalon (I have no clue)
Leadership (there is a program at our school called “Leadership.” What it is is that you apply and if accepted, you have 1 class period throughout the year for doing leadership stuff, like running for leadership positions, etc. I don’t know if it’s too late for me or not.)

I am planning on joining the following clubs that are offered:
DECA
FBLA (what is the difference between FBLA and FBLA Co-op?)
Key Club
Physics Club
Comp Sci club
NHS (after I do all the requirements)
Debate (only if I decide to replace engineering w/ Debate)

Thank you for your input.
