In the last 2-3 years? Guaranteed. The current circumstances now might be more difficult.
Depending on your location and your definition of a “living” then, possibly.
You’d be surprised the amount of tracking & personal information an institution has on you regardless if you use a VCC, VPN, etc. If you’re a repeating SE’er, they’ll know so it’s important to be conscious with your info given to companies (This includes your address).

I think so as long as you keep up with the latest trends. But I wouldn't do it

SE is both fun and it could help you out with some extra but I would not make living out of this

I use social engineering for fun and to make some extra pocket money. It's pretty hard to make a living out of it.

Yes but you have to have a passion for it. Otherwise might as well go clock in a regular 9 to 5
