Default Career Advice Needed

Hi all, can someone give me some career advice? I feel very lost..

Currently I am doing my phD in science, but i feel that this field is not suitable for me and that i should quit, rather than waste more lifetime on it.

My career aspiration is something like this:
- MOney is number one.
- yet, happiness should not be greatly compromised. I dont work well in competitive, unfriendly environment.
- i like to help people

I did well in my studies, straight 'A's, i can analyze well, can work well in team and can lead others. I am naturally good in math and science. I am hardworking, i can work long hours (if i can forsee a clear goal).

Thank you.

How old are you? Are you single? Do you have any plans to marry?

Finish your PhD and become a prof. Prof earns well. Research can be competitive or not, purely depends on you. But usually the profs are quite cordial with each other. Get to teach students. Pretty much meets all 3 points

Banking by its nature is competitive. If you don't like the culture you wouldn't survive. Can consider govt job but the pay wouldn't be as well as corporate world
