Default Time to Go Pro?

I know there is enough post about people going pro but I'm seriously considering it. Any advice would be sincerely considered and appreciated.

I've been playing poker for about 3 years now. Last year I made about $100,000 during 500 hour of play at a brick & mortar. I make about $80,000 at my day job.

Some people I talk to think I'm crazy to keep my day job while others think I'm crazy to quite my job.

I don't necessarily hate my job but I don't enjoy it as much as I enjoy playing poker.

I think financially it would make sense for me to go pro. I made $100,000 last year playing part time and I know if I would focus on poker more that I can make significantly more money.

But the games seems that are getting harder. There are more and more better players. So I'm worried that eventually my edge on my opponents would shrink and the games become less profitable.

Any advice from people who have went pro? Do you enjoy the experience? Was it what you had expected?
