Is this a good idea or not?

If I were in this situation, I might give it a shot.

I'm a successful 1/2 and 2/5 live player w/ 1000+ hours of experience. I've been going to Foxwoods 4-6 times a month, clearing over $1,500/mo. My game is tight and unsophisticated, and there is plenty of room for improvements/increased winrates.

Some of this makes me skeptical at how successful you would be.

I would take on 2/5 for a living with an initial $15,000 bankroll, and improve my game through experience and discussions with my new roomies. I would play poker probably four days a week, and bartend 1-2 days a week for a change, and to stay social.

This is good, and I think those that have commented haven't thought about how spending 1/3 of your time working in another field and having 1/3 of your income coming from a consistent source makes this tremendously easier monetarily and psychologically.

I think this is an opportune time to do make such a move, especially if your planning on going to school. I fear making such a move because I don't want to do grad school and I've had enough trouble getting jobs in my 2 years since college.

P.S. Kinda drunk...hope I made sense
