Think of this not as advice more an idea, I don't wanna come across as a know all (I know it's too late).
It's really quite hard to make decent money in any one field and still have a life. What seems to work is making a little bit of money in several fields and being able to pick and choose what you do.
Can you design? Learning about decent design is easy if you get passionate about it. Start looking for people that need things doing, i.e. business cards/logos for mates etc.
I know you have a nice camera. What do you do with the pictures you take? Where is your web presence proclaiming you to be the greatest photog ever? Can't afford someone to build your site? See the point above and use it to gain experience and something for your design portfolio. Get a copy of the book. It's got the contact details for all the magazines and what sort of photo submissions they are after.
For an American you seem to have a decent command of the English language. Get writing. Magazines need articles and they actually give you money. See above regarding the book.
There are so many other things that you can get into and if you make a little bit in each one you'll be loaded.
