Can’t decide between two majors

This fall, I will be starting my freshman year of college. I’m supposed to be doing an elementary education major, but I don’t know if that’s what I really want to do mainly because of how little the pay is for teachers. I am thinking about switching to a sociology major, and trying to graduate early, then getting a masters in education if I decide that’s what I still want to do, or just starting a different career in sociology. I think that might be a better idea because a masters would also put me higher on the pay scale, but I’m also not 100% sure about that idea either. I guess my only other options would be a double major, which I’d like to do but don’t think I can because I don’t want to have to spend that much time/money on college, or a major and minor, but with that I’d have to major in education and minor in sociology, and I think that could limit my future job possibilities. I’m really not sure though.

Could anyone give me any advice? I thought I knew what I wanted to do but now I just have no idea.
