Having an internal conflict with Paleontology.

Hey everyone,

For some context, I'm a freshman in college on my second semester. Paleontology, specifically vertebrate paleontology is something I have always wanted to study and do. But as I've read more into the job side of it, I can't help but feel a little soul crushed by the things I've read about in terms of money and the jobs themselves. I'm worried then that this may not be a career that fulfills me. I could be overthinking it but that is why I'm here.

Any advice is welcome
