What career should i choose after highschool?

hi there. i am so stuck. in currently in highschool,and have been starting to think about what i want to do with my life.at first i wanted to be a midwife,but then i re-thought that, deciding that midwifery is a 24/7 job,and i LOVE children so i want a family of my own, and i want to be there to raise them. so that wont work since you can go into labor at anytime,and i will be called. then i decided on cosmetology, ive had an interest in that field too. also ,in my town while you attend highschool you ccan take half the day at highschool,and half the day at this occupational program which makes it easier to get into college, so i figured i would do that then either go to paul mitchell or aveda institute. but now im stuck..everybody i talk to is trying to convince me not to do cosmetology,i dont understand why ,is it because its an average job and doesnt live up to their standards ? pleaseeeeee hellllppp
