Pick three of your favourite chems and study the recipes for them. Easy as baking a cake...or not.

Dude you aren't going to be taking "different" types of chemistry until you're already advanced to a certain degree and then you get into specifics.
You'll have more than enough to study in Chemistry 101 where the weeding out process begins. An intro course will touch on different branches of chemistry for sure though.

A basic chemistry degree covers everything (organic, inorganic, biochem, analytical, instrumental, nuclear, etc.).
It depends on *why* you like chemistry.
My degree will be in biochem because I like applying the analytical aspect of chemistry to biological systems. I like learning about the "fundamental" inner workings of biological systems.
After your second year you will have gen chem and organic chem under your belt and by that time you should have a good idea of what parts of chemistry you like most and want to focus on.

you'll get a job easy and make a shit ton of money if you dun end up in high level research.
WARNING - DON'T DO TOO MUCH DRUGS AND CHANGE UR MAJOR TO SOMETHING STUPID.
always keep ur eye on the job market. watever they say they want in the job descriptions, study that.

I hope you're intelligent enough for the subject. Chemistry's never going to be an easy major.

not only that, going into chemistry because of drugs is the WRONG reason. Do you really want to spend that much money on tuition to run the risk of very VERY serious jail time?

You're going to get fucked in the ass 
Worst decision I ever made to major in chemistry and I had a strong background plus a passion.
