I learned by myself to beat lowstakes in a couple of months and can make almost $10 an hour grinding 3-handed tournaments online.
While it's not a lot of money on the west, it can make up a really good salary in some european countries and 3rd world countries. Also you have to bear in mind that this is just the beginning. Once you can beat midstakes you can expect $20-50 an hour depending on how many tables you are able play at once. There is a huge jump to highstakes, where you can make a shit ton of money.
At the moment I can make much more by freelance coding, however I wish I started learning poker instead of coding at a young age, because it's easier on your energy, you don't have to deal with clients and it's just more fun in general.
Unfortunately there are not many free tools available to study, so for starters I would just recommend watching other pros to learn from youtube.
There is a channel which I like a lot because he is just a regular dude who learned to play by himself and uploads videos unedited. He is easy to relate to and uses common sense to beat the games. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCES_ii0XLJlaE-UtmOnGJWw
If you have some money to invest, you should definitely get a preflop solver such as icmizer. It just makes studying so much faster than having to figure out everything yourself. It's all about study and practice. You shouldn't expect to make money right away, you will probably lose money when starting out. Beginners should solely play for practice on the lowest stakes to minimize losses.
I must advise you that for most people, poker is very addictive, including myself. There were times where I played 14 hours daily and messed with my other duties in life. I completely neglected my coding jobs and resulted in losing many clients.
I hope to inspire some young poorcels out there to think outside the box and not always follow what is mainstream. Poker can be very lucrative if approached correctly with patience and understanding.
