Well, realistically that can happen if you really fucked up at College and were unlucky enough.

Although there is one thing....we don't know how long as it been between Raven graduating and Yang being born. For all we know, she didn't go to any mission at all after graduating.

Taiyang could have just been such a good student the Academy absorbed him into their staff right after graduating. I know that happens here where I live; if you get nearly perfect grades and the College needs staff, they are perfectly willing to make their just-graduated student become a professor nearly-right away. I mean, if the student is just that good, why not take advantage of it?

So yeah, there is a way that Raven had Yang shortly after graduating and she and Taiyang had the income to raise her (or at least, for the short while before she left him).
