You can choose a major and meet with an academic adviser at the College to instruct you on what classes you need to take in order to transfer. Or even if you don't have a major, the academic advisers can help you narrow down a choice.
Ultimately, you can't get a Bachelor's Degree without finishing your studies at a university. You can obtain an Associate's Degree though in Community College. It is also typically easier to transfer from a Community College to a University than going to a University straight from high school.
As far as how people who study at Universities find jobs related to their major, a lot of them get internships from school and that gets them started in their field. References from any mentors or professors are a big boost too.
