By definition, pro poker player is one who makes money solely by playing poker. There are no other sources of income etc. That being said, a pro player can be a losing player as much as a winning one.
The latter is what you have to aim for - being a winning, successful poker player. And can take years really.
The most famous pro - Daniel Negreanu stated that he started playing when he was 16 yrs old. He decided he will not get a regular 8 hour job but would play poker 8 hours a day, every work day. Today he is the most famous and among the most successful players in the world.
For him, it apparently took years/decades to get where he is now, and he still constantly learns more about the game and improves his gameplay and gamestyle.
I also suggest reading this: https://www.cardplayer.com/poker-bl...-plan-to-becoming-a-professional-poker-player. It is a very old article, but it might help out a bit in terms of understanding the process
Stick to having fun with poker . Once it becomes a job the game becomes work . This can quickly suck all the fun out of the game. The demographics have changed in poker sponsorships. You Should also heed the advice in that link to the Denegs article posted. Best of luck I hope you make it brother !

If you want to be a highly proficient player that wins lots of money, it is likely going to take you thousands of hours of playing and thousands of more hours studying how to play. Some have it easier than others, but most people, no matter what field they are in, have to be willing to put in the work to achieve their desired outcome.
Its about a 100,000 man hours Give or Take, a few hundred thousand Play Chips, $4,000 - $16,000 Real Money Entry Fee's, Six maybe Seven Pairs of Sun Glasses, a whole Wardrobe Full of Hoodies, a good MP3 Player, Good Friends to support you on the rails and start your Fan Club...

no answer. It depends from many factors like work ethic, your skill to learn new things, how many hours you will daily play/learn, mindset factors which many people have different. You can be a pro even after 6 months if you work with someone and you can play 10 years and still be on microstakes.
Many and all life is not enough to become a professional poker game . Only a few percent of people can consistently play poker, and achieve real success of about 0.02% .
The point is not even how long it takes to become a professional poker player. It all depends on your skills and abilities, you also need to take active part in live tournaments and expensive online tournaments, always showing very good results. This is very difficult to achieve and each player may need time in a different way.
