your senior year you should really join newspaper, photo journalism, yearbook and take a photography class so that way you can start portfolio. and in college you should do the same thing. pretty much every college offers a photography major so just chose the one thats right for you and one that you can afford. there isnt a big demand for photographers so the salary would be low depending on how good of photographer you. most colleges offer an internship program so try to find someone you can intern for!
goodluck!!!
