Default serious post about playing poker professionally

[i moved this post from general texas hold'em]

my situation is this, im 20 and currently in the process of getting prematurely discharged from the military under honorable conditions, i havnt been in long enough to get the GI bill or any benefits from it. i know that i want to be a professional poker player, i really cant see myself doing anything else and being happy. im still very intent on getting a college degree though. what i want to do is get into dealing poker then turn semi-pro while im in college then eventually pro. im thinking very long term though. i really have no interest in playing tournament poker or no-limit, just a great limit player. i feel i have enough talent to reach this goal over time, i just really lack experience.

i despise playing poker online and i only have 1.5 months of casino experience from when i went down to the casinos in seattle. while there my game progressed tremendously and i and others(floormen,experienced players) felt that i was a lot better than most all the newer players that that have been playing for a year or so with only 3 weeks of putting in 8-16 hour days at the cardroom and a couple of months worth of home games that i dominated.

so here are my questions and concerns. keep in mind i despise playing online and im genuinely thinking long term.

1. What is the best way to get into dealing? schools, on the job training, etc...
2. Where should i move to based on which games are the easiest to beat and dealing jobs/schools availability? im considering seattle/tacoma,vancouver b.c.,boulder colorado, foxwoods, and southern california.
3. Does this seem reasonable?

I sincerely appreciate any advice.
