Don't choose your profession based upon what pays more; choose it by what gives you more satisfaction - in the long run you're live longer and be happier.

Fact: 2 of Every 3 Businesses go under in the first year
Fact: 99.9% of Businesses started for the purpose of Profit are doomed.
Starting for the profit is not the way to go.
Starting an idea that someone else did and earned lots is also a bad move.
You start a career for the satisfaction it gives you, not for the money. Because when you do something you love, you put so much effort into enjoying it, the money just rolls in as a by-product.
When I left a Full time job in a Hotel (Long time ago), I became a consultant because I love working in this Sector, and I know my subject. I am now successful, and have no intention to quit.
So, lets flip the Q:
What gives you the best satisfaction from this list:
Photographer, graphic Designer, Textile designer
Oh one more thing. Just because an Idea works in one place does not mean it will work everywhere.

photographers CAN make a lot of money.
graphic designers CAN make a lot of money.
and I'm sure textile designers can make bank too.
But what's most important is talent and know how, without those two elements the first two jobs on the list CAN NOT make a decent living. unless they're lucky.

It all depends if your working for a company or working for yourself.
If you're working for a company then you'll be on some form of pay structure. Your gradings and increases will depending on skill, experience and the whim of your line manager.
If you work for yourself then your income will depend on your skill, experience and persistence.
In the long run you'll always make more working for yourself than working for someone else.

It really depends on how good you are, how well you promote yourself and how good your reputation is.
No one job is better than the previous or the next.
Nice question anyway.
