How to decide which branch of nursing I should do?

Hello, I am an aspiring nurse major. I am currently a senior in high school and am curious about the various types of nursing degrees and jobs I could possibly go into. I love helping people, and my passion in life is to be able to give back to the world in the caring for people. I would also like to make a good amount of income, as I could like to be financially stable as well as be able to give back to my parents. I enjoy working with people but professionally with peers, mostly by myself but can handle groups and teams. I enjoy problem-solving and independence and don't mind working long hours. What could be the fitting nursing career for me? #nursing #nurse #healthcare #registered-nurses #nurse-practitioner #nurse-midwife
