I consider myself an above-average player

As you noted, everyone considersw themselves an above average player. But even if you are above average, that is nowhere near good enough. You need to be in the top 8 percent of poker players to be good enough to even beat the online game long term. (I'm not pulling that number out of my ass, thats the percentage of people online this past year who finished in the positive). To be able to make enough money to make a living, I'd say you need to be in the top one percent. It is strongly encouraged that you find another job, and continue playing poker as a hobby.
