What proficiency would be considered paramount in scientific fields?

I understand that people in these fields need to be proficient in science and critical thinking, as well as curious. Can you tell me more about how these factors are used in your work, if at all? Which of these, if any, would you find most important for your line of work?

I will be majoring in astrophysics in college, but am not entirely convinced by my major selection because I think it will restrict me to fewer jobs than, for example, a physics degree. Is there really a difference in what I major in if it's related to STEM?

I'll be graduating this year and am hoping to major in something that I enjoy that could provide financial stability in the future.
