Everyone says that writers make no money even if you're famous. Is that true?

I really like writing and have thought about being a play writer but a lot of my friends and teacher say that it would be a really hard profession.

How can I make a good profit by doing something in the english category, that isn’t teaching?

How can I make a good profit by doing something in the english, book region of things. I am in 10th grade, and I have heard from teachers that becoming an author is not a good idea, (What I was wanting to do) because you won’t make enough money to live unless you books hits bestsellers. So is there anything I could do in the realm of english, (that isn’t teaching!) that could give me a good profit and stay in the parts of things I would like to do.

How can I start writing a book based on my life?

I am a Junior in college for my bachelors degree in creative writing and English. I always dreamt of writing my own book based off my life and maybe even turn it into a series of books as I grow older. As much as I can see myself in the near future publishing my first book, I do not know where to begin. This question was asked by a student who wanted to remain anonymous.
