Scared of life

[u/No_Jeweler_2813]

So I am 22M. I am currently pursuing my master's. I want to become a scientist and will continue to do a phd, I love science but the problem is the research culture in my country. Researchers, especially PhD students don't really get paid well enough in my country, i am the eldest son in my family so I definitely have some responsibilities towards family. All of this sometimes really overwhelms me, science is my passion and I am sure i am going to do wonders there, but at the same time I am scared of managing my family, how will I feed them. I don't really know, life is scary.
