Can you be a breeder? Yes
Now there are different level of success from the person having a collection that pay for itself to the person making an extra income to the person making a living.
In all 3 cases it takes passion, knowledge of the genetics, work, knowledge of the market, marketing skills, customer service skills, capital investment, business plan, a vision.
So it can be done but a lot of people do fail most because they do not have a plan, they don't have a vision, they have no knowledge of the market, they buy the cheapest snakes they can put their hands and hope they will break even and or even make money.l
If I were you I would finish with college before worrying about breeding snakes or even raising animals in hope of breeding, college and work will leave you very free time and the little free time you have you should try to enjoy yourself, if you don't you could get burned out before you even get started.
Will your degree help? To some extent it will many "breeders" out there thinks all they have to do is put 2 snakes together however the business and marketing part is also very important and some people are often seriously lack those basic skills.
Here are some good insights.
