I mean, you likely must spend money (or get help) to enter a Combat School to even learn how to fight competently enough. That's about 3 or 4 years in itself. Not to mention we don't actually know if the combat schools, at least the Atlesian one, give students the materials to make their weapons or if the students need to go out of their way to get them (which means, paying for stuff).

Then you must go to an Academy where you spend another 4 years training and actually-fighting Grimm, and whatever else appears. All with the constant need of good grades, and with the constant risk of death, either from someone on your team doing something stupid, an unforeseen circumstance during your mission, or just being wounded too badly.

And we don't actually know if students get paid for any missions they do. We never saw RWBY get any rewards for their job, or for helping stop the Breach. And even if they do get paid, it's likely just to support their studies. You know, to buy books, ammo, upgrades for your weapon, clothes, and so on.

And after all that, is when you can start taking missions and getting paid. After nearly a decade.

Overall, it's at least a very slow idea with a pretty good chance of death which can and will make it all ruined.
