    You would need to be very specialized in SEO in order to grab a good profit :)

    Once you get your name out there, you can start charging few hundred dollars per hour like Aaron Wall.

    I would broaden your studies to 'Internet Marketing' to maximize your value in the market.

    SEO simply isn't a sustainable career IMO. Most of the folks I know really do far more than SEO such as

    SEO
    Social Media Marketing
    PPC strategy
    Paid Placement (online advertising)
    Promotion ( getting noticed, link baiting )
    Analytics and conversions
    Geo-targeting

    ... and more...

    I am unsure, going forward, if simply having some SEO knowledge will really cut it for staffers in the SEO arena...

    I started a web design company 10 years ago and now have that as well as a marketing company, SEO company and even a hosting company for a bonus... Point is that diversity is big and my talents from one transposed to the others. My background in web development helped a ton when we got into SEO.... bla bla bla....

    SO I say study the broader 'Internet Marketing' world... wihch ultimately includes SEO....
