I think there are so many variables that this question is almost impossible to answer. I met some people with science degrees who ended up working in a non-science field - earning corporate salaries as management consultants. Some scientists are in academia and I imagine the salaries are very different in that field than they are in corporates.
I like Melody's advice to explore different career routes with a science degree - as the direction you take for career and the type of organisation you work for will be among the many many factors that influence what you will earn.

Great pay is subjective. This can vary by geographic location, work environment (clinical v research), and employer (government, private, contract)
And also your personal lifestyle expenses will determine if you're making enough to maintain that lifestyle.
A bachelor's degree for clinical lab science may be $45,000-$60,000. Of course more eduaction, professional responsibilities, and experience can increase your income over time.
Research various careers of interest and see how education and income vary.
All the best to you

Hi Aarna,
Imagine yourself with a higher degree from a prestigious institution like Harvard, Johns Hopkins, or UCLA. These places are a magnet for high achievers and experts, especially in major US cities where knowledge and expertise thrive.
If you have the chance to pursue a Doctorate, seize it! This involves groundbreaking research; a unique thesis exploring uncharted territories. This is the key to becoming a renowned expert in your field and potentially earning more than $100,000 per year.
Sadly, a Bachelor's degree might not be enough if you're aiming for an annual salary above $80,000. There are exceptions, of course, especially if you're a successful entrepreneur in fields like agriculture, investment, technology, tourism, fashion, catering, alcoholic beverages, art, and more.
Start something that people can't help but be excited about.
Best,
Jim.
