I worked as a professional poker played for 3 years, mostly online. I had to give it up because of the lack of work colleagues, you miss these people that you have a lot in common with. Now the job I did after the poker was a secondary school teacher which I loved doing so maybe that's the key, find a job you love. For me Poker wasn't it mostly because of the lack of human interaction but I guess Steemit is'nt the same as human interaction is steemit
