Any Career Suggestions?

I don't know what career i should have when i am an adult, i know i shouldn't let others choose but i would like some ideas or tips. I know its not about money but i want to be successful and have a pretty good amount of money (not like a famous person, but maybe 100,000+). I know it seems a little shallow to want that much but i want to be able to help others like charities with extra money. I love animals but i don't want to have to go to college for 6+ years. I would like to keep it under 4 years of college, but 5 would be okay depending on the profession. Thanks for any help. I also don't want to be working in construction or a job where i have to travel and avoid relationships, or a job where i would be outside a long time ( I have really bad allergies and get sick easily.) I am also an over achieving student so i am willing to get a job where you must be intelligent.
