If you ask for my personal opinion of what is better for great pay packets of photographers among qualification and popularity, I would say None because the thing that works the most for their favor is their TALENT. But, if you talk generically, both qualification and popularity has their own values. On one side where qualification teaches you about the key and technical aspects of a camera and technicalities related to photography, being popular will help you in getting more clients and hence more money. So with a combination of talent, popularity and qualification, a student or a person can become a wealthy photographer if the skills and knowledge on the subject along with his creativity work in close coordination with each other.
PS: Do something with complete dedication if you want to be successful in it, that's the key.

There are two another replies that I have posted on 1- How to be a Video Jockey 2. News Presenter. Please see the answer in addition to those two answers. https://ask.shiksha.com/how-can-i-become-a-video-jockey-vj-what-starting-salary-can-i-expect-qna-4393281? ReferenceEntityId=4396513

Now the answer to your question is: A TV correspondent is to be understood as a reporter for the electronic channel I.e. news channel. The difference between this and that of a news presenter is that this one is the news provider, sender and the one who is in the field not in the news room. Hence, there are certainly small but important things to be kept in mind: The field job is demanding, not just travel, but risks as well as longer commitments. The requisites remain the same as we have shared in the above two answers, mainly the ones for the job as a news presenter. The only difference remains is that one is on the desk of the studio, the other is in the field- reporting to the same camera.
The salary, however, depends on the profile and seniority one has among the reporters. These days, staffers or full-time correspondents are not higher for small segments on areas. Task-based payments are made when a news story gets telecasted. The average earning for a part-time person can range from 20k to 30k, expecting a good number of stories. The moment one establishes oneself as a quality reporter then salary gets good and the jobs can also become that of a regular employee-staffer.

A website content writer or web content writer specializes in providing relevant content for websites. Every website has a specific target audience and requires different content. If you are a creative writer and possess the ability to create the sensation in the reader's mind, then do not worry about the demand in the future industry! However, the writing genres and target market differ.with everything turning online and every market becoming digitized, the need for content has drastically increased today. In the digital world, we have advanced medium to distribute content such as blogs, videos, podcasts, e-books and so on. When technology enables us to store and transmit information in a faster and easier way, it directly impacts the speed of our evolution. Content is a tool to attract the attention of prospects which is why it has become one of the major and important tools for digital marketing. However, there is no use of attracting attention (generating traffic) if that attention cannot be used to convert prospects into customers.

If I say I'm a writer people ask about books, and while I'm working on one I haven't been published yet so I am hardly an expert. If I say I'm a journalist, people ask on what channel I appear. It's pretty sad people forget about newspapers these days! In my brain there's a difference, what do you think? Wondering why I am mentioning this dilemma on this question.
It is a basic answer to the question asked above. A career in journalism and a career in writing are completely different yet related to each other. While a student can enter into both the streams through different courses, today it is even possible to be a part of both streams via both courses. But, on a general perspective, following is the difference.
Through an English degree programme, you'll study literature and writing as well as develop effective communication and critical-thinking skills. A degree programme in journalism may prepare you to write, report, analyze and comment on significant news events. Although both disciplines study the mechanics of the English language and have an emphasis on writing, English degree programs can be used in a variety of different professions, whereas journalism programs teach you to apply your writing skills specifically to careers with newspapers, online journals and other news reporting outlets.

Masters programmes vary drastically depending on the school. Often times you can select a specialised programme based on your interests and career goals. Also, some universities may have the option to specialize in journalism as part of a Masters course, while others may have a separate journalism Masters programme altogether.
Examples of concentration options within a Master of Communication programme or of specialised Master of Communication degrees include:
Strategic Communication
Biomedical Communication
Corporate Communication
Public Relations
Advertising
Health Communication Management
Journalism
Communication & Media Studies
Communication & Culture
Digital or New Media
Integrated Marketing
Global Communication & Diplomacy
Mass Communication
Organizational Leadership
Interpersonal Communication
Sports Communication & Media
Political Communication
Nonprofit Communication
While a basic Bachelor's degree teaches you each and every aspect of mass communication, a Master's degree helps you generally specializing in the domain of your choice thus increasing your value and worth in the particular domain with the increased knowledge that you gain with this course.
