I'm not sure where you got the idea that porn stars make a lot of money... because quite frankly, female porn actresses make roughly $70 - 80 per film, while guys make roughly $50 per film... and being a male, you know that you can only really perform once a day or so... twice a day if you're really good. So really, it's not that high paying of a job. Not to mention, there's a high number of people that are trying to get into the porn business, which means that you have to be pretty good to get into it, and even if you do get in, doesn't mean you'll work a lot.
A lot of porn actors also have daytime jobs along with their porn jobs, so it's not a "career option" but more like a "extra cash on the side" job.
If you really want to make more money, go to college (on a loan even), get a degree, get some sort of training/internship, then get a high paying job.
Let me outline what some of my friends currently make:
Consulting: starting at $60k
Marketing admin: starting at $70k + bonus + car allowance = $120k
Investment banker (ernst, jp morgan, merrill): $140k
