First, I'm a student and don't earn the money I need to live at the moment so, I don't have the perspective of someone who earn money doing work he loves.
Trying to get a scholarship and entering university to be free from directly doing thing to make money might be something to think about for you. That the point of university. People who need to develop skills get to focus on developing them without spending there time earning money.
I know that you are into gaming strategy and that you play poker from time to time. While being a poker pro isn't really a productive profession you could consider making your daily bread via online poker.
If I remember right the other games that you play aren't ones that you can make money with.
If you play chess you could teach people chess strategy and make money that way but I doubt that you can make money teaching Street Fighter II strategy.
Otherwise I think teaching something theoretical and learning to focus on what a student can learn might be worthwhile for your development.
But to give your more suggestions, what do you actually love doing? In which areas are you better than 95% of the people around you?
