Can someone make a long-term career at online poker?

id like to see some income statements that prove so.

as for me, ive lost more than 2k online, at my worst i was down 3k one day and made it up in 25 minutes. im the person the online people make the money off of i guess.

In real games, I do alright, im not the best by any means, i can read some people, other people are just idiots worse than me, sometimes i get string of luck.

the issue i see with online gambling is how lucrative it seems. in my mind when i started playing (and have since stopped) it was that I was better than 50% of the people because i was up a couple hundred a few days after i started. Its been only after about a year of losing bit by bit, that ive realized i have no business being online and that i consistently do well in real games.

i guess the other question i have is, who WANTS to do poker for a living? it doesnt seem like its that glamorous when you look at the primetime players, when you compare it to actors, athletes, and CEOS.
