Photojournalists can do very well -- but it generally takes a fair amount of time to establish a reputation and get into the better paying jobs -- starting small and working up.
I don't know where you go to school, but the Visual Communications program at Ohio University in Athens has a number of former National Geographic photographers and photo editors on the faculty.
The program, while fairly young, has turned out two or three Pulitzer Prize winners in newspaper photography.
When my daughter took the course, her visiting professor in news photography was the woman who won the Pulitzer for the "Challenger" explosion picture we're all so familiar with.
End of commercial. Good luck.
