I really want to be Vet, but only the vets that do surgery on animals get lots of money but i hate to see blood. I wanna be a zooligist but they don't earn a lot and ill be poor. I can be a lawyer but i hate that job. What should i be then? I would love to be a Scientist person that studies some kind of Life Science but they don't earn a lot.

Obviously, you first must decide for yourself just how much the money factor is important to you. Is making a shitload of money the sole purpose of your education, thus far? Or is the pupose of your education the development and discovery of yourself?
You need to decide what kind of standard of living you want to live at. If you insist on living the rich lifestyle, then obviously you must sacrific your essence and happiness and pursue money with no regards to what you are. but if you want to be happy, and if you can content yourself with a decent upper-middle-class lifestyle, then be a zoologist or non surgical vet. Both of those careerpaths are nothing to scoff at! They are both highly-educated professions, and therefore earn a decent wage--enough to buy a house and support a family!
Lemme restate: to solve this problem you must decide what the lowest standard of living you can possibly accept (talk with someone knowledgeable about this if you need help). Once you know what you can live at then you have a baseline of what to look for.
Honestly, I hope you have realistic expectations. Pursing money and sacrificing your soul dounds a bit shallow and inhumane--not only to yourself but also to those who love you.

Okay, this is not so hard to figure out: First, you get used to the sight of blood, especially if it's not your own. Second, there's not that much blood when you open up a little cat leg to fix it, it won't squirt out, you know... Go and do what you have passion for, because if you end up in a high paying job that you don't really like, the money won't make you happy and life just gets miserable. Trust me I speak from experience. If you do what passions you, the richness of your bank account will lose all importance, even if you're poor doing what you love. When you love what you do, it doesn't matter the money you have, you won't have time to think of a way to spend it... And what's the use of money when your soul feels poor? Saving lives by finding new antidotes, researching stem cells has no price... Be a kids doctor... You can get a decent pay and it is so gratifying when the child you saved comes to see you to thank you, you have no idea. Good luck in your choice.

I would not choose a profession based solely on what you can earn. If you do what you love, then work will be like play, and you may feel satisfied without a lot of material goods. If you take a job you hate, then you may never be satisfied, no matter what you earn.
Also, many people change careers mid-stream. So don't feel you need to have the "Perfect Answer."
I recommend the book by Bolles, "What Color is your Parachute?" Since a veterinarian and a zoologist have quite a bit of overlap. I'd say to try for the veterinary school, because you don't need a license to be a zoologist, but you do to be a veterinarian. Going from a zoologist to a veterinarian would probably mean repeating all of your education. But you will need to check this. And it may vary from state to state.
And they both study animals.

yeah, a golddigger, that is what its called. How about marrying a rich lawyer, he will do the dirty job (of money making) for you.
"i really want to be vet but i hate to see blood" i must rather LOL at this. you cant be much old, can you? i believe you are not right now at the age of applying for college, so maybe as you get older, things will sort out naturally and you will find that there are things that money cant buy. Also realize that for making big cash you dont have to go to college, adult movies is just one of many such oportunities, but it should not be forgotten.

First just get a degree and then decide on your last year of school. In order to be any of the jobs you listed you will have to obtain further schooling. You don't just get out of college and become a Vet, you have to go to a school for veterinary medicine for at least 4 more years. So try to be realistic you get the degree and see what opportunities you have.

Pick the job you would love Zoologist. I have a job right now that pays very well but I hate it. I'd do anything to find a job I actually like, even if it paid crappy. Just find yourself a man who has a good paying job and you'll be set ;)

I suggest you go to your school's career counselor. Ask for a Career Assessment and fill out the documents. This will help guide you in locating areas you are best suited for. You may be able to use a "Search Engine" and do a Career Assessment on line.

Hmmm, same type of question I have in my mind. Go to med school, you don't necessarily have to do the surgery, can you can enjoy your favorite biology there as well, and of course, you will make mucho dinero when you become a doctor. If you like math and physics as well, go to petroleium engineering or computer science, that is where you make fortune !!

Here is where America is seriously failing. We ask 18 year olds to choose a job, even though they really don't know what that job will entail. I think you should major in liberal arts for a few years, then choose your major after some education.

Get a job at a fast food place. It's really hard work for little pay. This way you will learn a valuable life lesson and appreciate your education.
