Is it okay to make a living even if you hack full-time? I think there are a lot of good bros here, but I wonder if they work

It's a bit of a long story, but it really depends on the kind of job you're doing and your expertise in it. If your work is highly profitable and you're an expert in your field, then yes, you could be a full-time hacker. For example, my team and I focus on financial targets—betting sites, restaurants, hotels, event companies, insurance companies, major corporations, investment firms, stock platforms, banks, and similar financial targets. Of course, this is a challenging task, and we use our own vulnerabilities and custom tools. So, not only does our work bring in revenue, but we're also experts at what we do. I've been in cybersecurity since 2016, started earning from it in 2018, and we've been conducting high-profile attacks since 2020. What I'm trying to say is, just like a baby learning to walk, you must take things step-by-step. Imagine a baby—it learns to sit first, then crawls, then takes a step, walks, and finally runs. If a baby tried to run before taking its first steps, do you think it would succeed? Once you can stand on your own, then start to walk. You understand what I'm saying, right?
Another important point: set big goals for yourself. Let me give you an example from my own team. When we founded Amara back in 2016 (that's the name of my group), our goal wasn't to attack big corporations and steal millions of dollars. We were just starting high school, and none of the eight members of Amara came from well-off families. Our goal was to earn a bit of money and not be a burden on our families. Our first jobs involved phishing and scamming with fake sites, and for the first five months, Amara made no money at all. Now, all eight members of Amara are doing well.
Here’s another point: have you ever heard of the group Amara? No, right? But what about Carbanak? Most likely, yes. So, which group is still active—Amara or Carbanak? Carbanak is no longer active because they became known worldwide. But Amara? We've quietly, slowly, and secretly grown like a vine, and we're still active. The key reason for Amara's success is the type of targets we choose. For example, imagine we infiltrate an illegal betting site and take a portion of their funds. The owners can’t report it to the police. Or suppose we infiltrate a port's operations and collect extra payments from their clients on behalf of the port. To avoid losing customers or dealing with legal issues, the port owners will handle it themselves. Or think of a hotel that overcharges guests under “credit card expenses.” If we steal from them, the hotel owners will be left crying in the background because pursuing us would expose their own fraud against their clients. Or consider a big oil company. This company is mixing solvent into gasoline to make illegal profits and evade taxes. Now imagine you acquire documentation, reports, and evidence of this and take a portion of their funds. Would they come after you? If you threaten them with the documents, no, they likely wouldn’t. They might hire other hackers or security experts to track you down through illegal means, but as I mentioned before, if you're an expert, they won't catch you. As a Kurdish proverb says, ‘Walk in the snow without leaving a trace.’ All Amara’s targets are carefully chosen, so if we've never been caught or known to the world, it's thanks to the silence of our targets.
In Sun Tzu's Art of War, it’s said, ‘He who knows himself and knows his enemy has already won the war.’ We thoroughly research each target (down to their preferred shoe brands) before attacking. Choosing your target wisely is key. We're planning to cease our activities by 2030. Finally, do you know the one inevitable thing about being a full-time hacker? Failure. When you fail, follow these steps:

1. Try.
   
2. Try again.
   
3. Try once more.
   
4. Try different approaches.
   
5. Take a break, clear your mind, then try again.
   
6. Try seeking help.
   
7. Find someone who has succeeded before and ask for their advice, then try.
   
8. Identify what didn’t work, correct it, and try again.
   
9. Keep improving what works and keep trying
   
10. Keep trying until you succeed…
