What Investment Career should I take?

Hello everyone, I am 12 and I have big goals in life. I wanted to find the highest paying job possible that I would enjoy and I narrowed it down to investing. But I’m stuck! I don’t know what career in investment is A: high paying and B: investing in company’s and/or stock. So to anyone out there that knows a job that’s high paying and actually invests, please tell me! It is very much appreciated!
