It is probably -$ev for someone who makes 130's to try and be a pro poker player. By the time you get by the variance and skill level necessary to succeed at that level your time will have been better spent climbing the corporate ladder.
Having said that, if you miserable in your job the only way to go pro it is to play nights/weekends, get better, and build a nice roll so that you have at least a year's living expenses and bankroll. Then take a year off work and give it a shot.
I have a nice job myself but play for the love of the game and to make some nice extra money for vacations and extra things. I think even if I had some huge sick score, keeping my 9-5 would still be +ev.
