Can I be a gamer for a living?

Is it really feasible to make a living as a gamer? I've always had a passion for gaming and have spent countless hours honing my skills. But can I actually turn that into a sustainable career? Are there enough opportunities in the industry to support myself financially? What skills and qualifications do I need to stand out in such a competitive field? And how do I even get started on this journey? It seems like a daunting task, but I'm willing to put in the hard work if it means being able to do what I love for a living.
