If you became a missionary of most modern traditional patterns, you would indeed have a problem. Some of them build big, powerful churches which encourage poor folk to give all their money to them. Others depend on their wives. Most I am aware of depend on large organizations which collect donations through denominations and other groups of churches.
But I would encourage you to do as the Apostle Paul did, and keep a job. There is less temptation in going that route, and you will not be alien to people who do have to do physical work for their living.

If God called you he will provide-If you have no Bible college education -look into that first-and as you go you will be visiting Churches that will back you.
It is better to go as a couple too=Live with self esteem even when you are engaged to be married in true love for life, and be the type that is about a diamond ring.
we reap what we sow. its good in the blessed light.
in amazing grace that saved me=John 3 repented of my sins, and let Jesus in my heart to be my savior and best friend. He promised "I love you and knock on your heart door to come in when you repent (even of one lie) do it quickly, Behold I stand at your heart door and knock, if you let me in I will be your friend." Revelation 3:19&20
so I prayed to be helped too = "Jesus thanks that you love me, I am sorry for my sins so help me do better, come into my heart and be my friend, amen."
this changed my life wonderfully and gave me inner peace in the midst of storms and now I have Jesus the good shepherd to guide my life happily each day Psalm 23 & John 10 in the more abundant life!
prayin for you too the best, David, dont worry there will be those at school called to be missionaries too-and most important be a missionary were you are at-because we are either a missionary or a missionaries field.

Yeah isn't that what most missionaries do? They go around, country to country in the disguise that they truly want to earn money for "orphans" back home or "aids" victims when what they truly want to do, is generate an income for themselves and see the world at the same time. So yeah, in answer to your question, sure you can make money. As long as your conscience doesn't prick you at the end of the day and you're fine with it. Otherwise, get your butt back in the employment line and get a job. Don't look for easy ways to earn money brather. Or sistah for that matter.

It sounds like you'd need to be in the missionary position quite a bit to make significant cash in a hurry.

I belive they are given a modest amount to live on! A missionary dedicates their life to Christ!

You would need the backing of a church or an organization.
Or your own savings.........
