I found that RN salary are higher than LVN salary

RN $64,690 http://www.bls.gov/ooh/Healthcare/Registered-nurses.htm
LVN (LPN) $47,540 http://www.lvnsalary.org/

Did LVN have a chance to get higher income than RN? What career should i choose?

Generally speaking, the food chain order is RN followed by LVN. You should choose the career best suited to you.
