I really want to work in lab sciences, but is this a career that would land me a stable income (able to live comfortably)?

Heyy im not for sure if this is the correct subreddit to post on (I am new to Reddit) so please redirect me if this is not an appropriate question to ask but I was wondering how everyone else’s lives were working in lab sciences? Are you stressed every day financially? Or can you make ends meet? Is this a hard profession to pursue? Was it hard finding a job in this field? Is it worth going to school for? I’ve loved the lab sciences and research since I was in middle school, and currently I’m going into a 4-year as a mol/cell bio major. But I don’t really know what specific profession I want to pursue in this field. I also just want to live comfortably in my future, so yeah. For extra info I live in the U.S, Illinois, I don’t want to go into med school, but I’m fine getting a phd. (And any extra certifications/schooling I would need to do).
