You know, a person has to enjoy what they do or eventually it becomes a drag no matter how much money it produces.
I agree with TP on the voluntarism thing. If you feel you don't "contribute to society" by playing poker for a living but you make good money doing so, well, you have the money and/or the free time to find something that satisfies that need in you, so go ahead and do it.
Besides, poker will likely be around for a long time. You can always pick it up again in the future if you want/need to. Or just let it be for you what it is for the vast majority of people: an occaisional social diversion. I think stock traders play poker.
