What's a geologists job like?

I’m thinking of going to college to become a geologist, I’m interested in the earth and the environment. I’d like to become a geologist because the job involves just that. But I’m not sure what kind of geologist I should become. I don’t want a low paying job because I’d like to be successful like any normal person. Whats the job like for those who are one, is it a fun job? How long would it take to become a geologist manager? Thanks for the help everyone!
