It all depends on the field you are in. And yes, I know I"m comparing 2 irrelevant fields, but you will not always make more as a PhD than as a BA. In some cases, once you have PhD you become overqualified and many places would rather hire a BA or MA candidate because they can pay them less.
The best way I've heard to find what you like is to take intro classes in different subjects and see what interests you. I know you're not in college yet, but maybe you can take a summer course or 1 course during the normal semesters at a community college or something. Or wait til you go to college. You don't have to know your major right away.

but you're citing a rare case. phds are far more likely to be making big money then a BA or even an MA. show me a pharm.d thats not making six figures starting.
