Say I'm a 20-something with strong C and systems programming skills. Can I earn a living contributing to the Linux kernel? Would the Linux Foundation invest in training and mentoring me for a year or two until I become self-sufficient and am able to do the same for the next novice?

No, just work at Red Hat or Google, they pay plenty of people to actively contribute to kernel development.
