A starting sports photographer doesn't get paid anything. He or she is called a "Sports Intern" and works for a newspaper to get experience and clippings to put in a portfolio, but no money.
And...that's how everyone who's a sports photographer got started.
One advantage of being a long-term contracted sports photographer is that you can make a great deal of money. A disadvantage to being a freelance sports photographer is that work can be sporadic.
Four years, if you want to be a staff photographer for a newspaper in a city with a pro sports team or a major university, an Associated Press staff photographer or a photographer for a sports magazine. All those people have Bachelor of Arts degrees in Journalism and Mass Communications.
