How to choose between making money and wanting to be happy in a career?

I am currently a rising Junior in highschool and my dream job is to be a marine biologist (More specifically an oceanographer), an ornithologist, or a herpetologist but there are little to few jobs available, and if they are available they don't pay enough for me to grow up and be comfortable. I understand I should be happy with a job but I want to be able to buy groceries and such. Maybe even a treat now and then.
