Is Pursuing an Elite PhB, MBBS, and PhD a Viable Path for a Research Career?

In summary, the speaker's plan is to study a PhB at ANU, with a major in either physics, chemistry, physiology, or neuroscience. After completing the degree, they plan to pursue a MBBS/PhD, which would take 4 years for post-grad medicine and an additional 3 years for a PhD in medical research. By the time they finish, the speaker will be 29 years old and possess a PhB, MBBS, and PhD. They are interested in working in research and not teaching, and are curious about potential earnings and organizations that hire individuals with PhDs for research positions.

My plan is to study PhB at ANU (science research-focused degree) and major is probably physics and chemistry or physiology or neuroscience and once I complete the degree after 3 years I can do MBBS/PhD which is 4 years of post grad medicine and then 3 years of PhD doing 'cutting edge medical research' so once I am done I will be about 29 years old but will have an 'elite' bachelor in science (PhB), MBBS, and a PhD in medicine.
Is it possible for me to work in research (I do not want to teach)? How much will I earn? Are there organisations that hire people with PhD's to do research?

I'm a ANU grad. Sounds good but a lot of work.
