Lots of full time jobs give you vacation time. I use most of mine to go to tournaments, and usually can make it to around 4 majors a year. Personally, I was graduated from college and had a full time job before I started competing, and fully understand the time/money commitment. But if you have a decent job you may have to make a sacrifice or two for it but going to a FG major is a blast.
As far as being solely a competitive player as a career, I dont recommend it to anyone at this present time.
