Any camera with manual setting is a good camera to start off with. I don't have a degree as of yet (working towards a visual communications degree) but I have used photography for some sites I have designed so I will have to say that yes there is money to be made but it depends on what you are shooting. Cars for instance (at least in this area) is not an easy market to make money in, because there are a lot of enthusiast (myself included) who will usally do it for free (although sometimes you get lucky and people will donate). but the best way to learn is to just go out and shoot...practice. The more you do it you will begin to develope your own style and approach. good luck.

As far as I know nobody here has any degrees in photography, though I should be studying (majoring in) it in about 5 months.
Hey Robby I haven't talked to you in a while, we need to go shooting again soon.
