Nice trips.

You don't even need a literature degree. In fact, the student loans that come with it would be a hindrance.

I've known a couple of working writers.

The first was a woman that wrote a blog about movie reviews and product reviews on Amazon. She was actually able to pay her bills just doing this, but she had to really churn out a lot. So she watched all the movies mostly on 2x speed and skipped a lot

Second, was a retired aircraft engineer who got into Kindle books on the side. He wrote mysteries and had them translated into other languages for extra sales. According to him, he made about 20k / yr doing that.
