Is translating enough to make a living?

I (27F) have been studying translation for about a year. It took me forever to find a career path that I was passionate about. Translation is not only something I love doing but it’s also convenient for me.

To put some perspective into it, my family lives in Brazil, and I’ve been living in the US for 6 years now, going back to visit them every 1-2 years for 15 days only. I wanted to dedicate myself to a career that would allow me to spend more time with my family.

I haven’t had any professional experience in the translation field yet and it’s a bit discouraging when I read comments talking about how AI has been taking over - but I want and have to be realistic.

I still don’t have my mind set on one specific field and I am willing to focus on a more profitable area. I currently make around 45-50K/year. So the question is: Is it possible to make more than that working with translation? Or am I going to be poor for the rest of my life? lol
