There are loads of different ways to make money with social engineering, so this is a hard question to answer.
Some people can make fuck all catfishing people, while some can make thousands a day. Same goes for refunding, warranty exploitation SE's and all the black hat stuff.
There are companies/teams that are specialized in social engineering, who get hired by a company to basically test their security, they can make a lot of money.

I think you'll eventually hit a plateau. It might work for a few months, but it won't replace a job. How many times can you hit the same story? It's going to become a problem.

Absolutely not. Its nice to have the skill, sure, but it is in no way sustainable.

No way. You'd likely be caught.

When it gets possible, it becomes too risky and outweighs the risks so no.
