Junhua,
A career will help you make more money in the long-run as you make advancements in your career. An advancement traditionally is getting promoted the next level up. An example is working in an office where you report to a supervisor and eventually getting promoted to the same level of that supervisor position. I will say that doing your job well does not mean you will get promoted purely on that basis. Promotions are accessed by applying for a higher position than the current job but that comes after pursuing training and/or degrees that best position you to be selected for an interview and offered the new job. This sounds simple but it may not be that simple for all career paths. Some career advancement is influenced by tenure (how long you have done a job) such as a college professor or skill-based worker while technology focused jobs do not follow the same logic for advancement. A programmer might end up working in a number of different industries during their career but some of the job movements might have been a lateral move instead of a move up. A lateral move is when your pay remains the same but you change job titles. This does provide the opportunity to learn more about something else in the business or industry to increase your knowledge and skillset that can prove useful towards being a good fit for a higher position down later on to increase your job title and pay.
Money is not everything!! This might some confusing but a job is different from a career. People work at a job for a pay check and that is easy to understand. People choose a career because that is what drives them to have an impact and get financially rewarded at the same time. A career is still fundamentally a job but a career is more successful when you get up each day excited to do your job to make a positive impact. A career helps you grow your knowledge base, skill set, and eventually helps you decide to take training to lead a team some day.
Money is not everything, but it is important for each person to take care of themselves and their families. Having a career provides access to increased salary and better job satisfaction as you pursue your dream job. I suggest doing research to identify a career path you are interested in pursuing. That way you can determine if college degrees are needed to enter that selected career path.
I wish you luck finding a career path that inspires!!
