Don't listen to the people who say teaching doesn't pay :/
Teachers have the best union out there, and retire at like 50. Get your masters, and then even teaching at highschool level you'd be getting slight-mint with your summers off. This can also mean that you can do your undergraduate degree in whatever you want to do, and it means you can afford to find out if you're prepared to have the life of an academic or not. If you're interested in post-secondary teaching, you'll need at least a masters degree, and you'll probably need a PhD. To get a masters anywhere in the commonwealth, you need an honors degree. Each university has a different honours program, but at mine, you need to write a 50-60 page dissertation with help from a professor you're assigned to who shares your interests.

Don't let other people limit your interests. The most important thing is that you become educated. The more education you get, the more highly paid job you can get. You can get fellowships and scholarships if your grades are good and you continue to contribute to your CV, which will ultimately lead to a highpaying job in any field.
