Like anything else, not everyone learns at the same pace.  Some are naturals at it, others struggle for a bit, and some just aren't cut out for it no matter how hard they try (although I'll argue these are rare and usually aren't really putting forth the effort they claim to).

You can't expect anybody to give you an "average" because it's pretty much impossible to do.  There are so many players - the vast majority of which are losing players - that I doubt anyone could aggregate a representative sample to figure any sort of reasonable average.  I suppose one could survey X number of winning players and ask them how long it took them, but the answers would likely be unreliable since most of us probably aren't sure.  I think I became profitable within a year, but I immersed myself in books and videos and training sites and invested in tracking software very early on.  I also didn't waste any time at the penny stakes - after an initial small deposit to test the waters briefly, I deposited enough to play 25NL and moved to 50NL soon after.  I also played tourneys and binked some bigger ones early on, like a 25K GTD on FT.  I played very few freerolls outside of private CC games because I couldn't tolerate the stupidity.

And you can't really discriminate between cash and tourney when it comes to being a winner or pro (two different things btw).  You can profit in either, some people are more suited to one or the other.  Certainly less variance for a winning cash player though.
