Just to let you in on what I've picked up from periodicals, articles and first hand experience. The main pool that companies are focusing for recruitment of high level executives is currently Business Analyst's, due to there constant exposure to problem solving and optimisation in multiple business area's and industries. In order to pursue this sort of career you would need exposure to some business and some information systems courses at varsity. A general Bcom will cover the business side, but try and weight yourself into some IS courses through you course choices if possible and extra courses. At my current place of work (within the financial services industry) we had a BA who completed her MBA and was snapped up a year later by a company needing a CEO, thats my first hand experience of it. But you should always do what you enjoy doing, if you can find what that is, I'm still looking. You'll lead a far happier and more successful life doing what you love to do, I sound like one of those career coaches.
