Money doesn't get you anything except being able to afford stuff. Many overestimate how much money they really need and underestimate how much they have to do for it. When I was still in college, my goal was the highest salary possible and I left out the most important component: Time. I currently work 60h from Monday to Friday and "have" to be available all day. I am massively sleep deprived, surrounded almost exclusively by older people and doing the same bullshit every day. Of course I earn well, but it's not worth it.
You should much rather focus on getting a simple job where you earn enough money to be able to afford everything in life, not to be able to buy additional pointless luxuries. In addition, you should also focus on the time aspect, ideally you should only work part-time, so 20h a week, that usually covers all your expenses and you can focus on other things or build up a business, whatever. OR just enjoy life. Forget luxury, your life will not be better if you have a luxury apartment/expensive car/most expensive branded clothes/watches etc. And you won't get really rich with a 6 digit salary either, because after taxes there won't be much left and you also will have a more expensive lifestyle. Very many top earner I know live paycheck to paycheck.
I'm also going to quit my current job in the next few months and look for an easier one where I have a lot more me time.
TLDR: Keep that in mind when choosing your degree program. Priority 1 should always be covering all expenses and priority 2 should be time and a stress free job.
