Well, from my experience to be a financially successful professional
photographer you need three things.
1. A really tough ego.
2. Relentless self promotion.
3. An eye for an image.
All else is optional.

the assumption among many professional photographers is that you have
the skill or you wouldn't be there.
That is not a safe assumption for them to make.
That's an understatement.
I've run into a lot of pro photographers who are only able to do what
they do because the automation in the camera has enough skill to cover
for them.
I suspect that the % of truly skilled pro photographers is now hovering
at an all time low.
I've saw evidence of that at the photo shop. We used to do a lot of
processing for pros. When they started making the transition to digital
you could see who really had a handle on exposure and who didn't. Not
many did.
