no.
there are a lot of talented people that can't get jobs. outsourcing is a big problem, and it's also a very small industry.
you need to be very lucky and have a lot of connections.

see if you like doing it first, and then figure out exactly how much you like it.
if you couldn't see yourself doing anything else in life then go for it, but otherwise go get a STEM major instead and do 3d as a hobby.

You must be terrible at what you do or not a professional.

depends on your location.
freelance is not enough money to live off no matter how good you are (unless studious contract you specifically to sculpt characters because you have magnificent talent, which is rare but possible).
if your current location don't have enough jobs to begin with then you are toast, you won't get paid alot.

My entire country probably has 4-5 super small VFX studios and the same amount of small indie game studios. :) I'm not sure why am I still doing this to be honest, because I actually don't know how I could get a job here and I don't have a good plan B atm. Fuck.
