Anything is possible!  You are 18. Do you have living expenses (house, utilities, medical, food) OR does your family cover your living expenses? If your family is covering your living expenses then to explore playing poker as a living becomes less complicated. There are a LOT Of things to take into consideration when deciding to make poker your job. The following are a few simplified answers that will hopefully give you some ideas...

[B]If you family is covering your living expenses...[/B]

[LIST=1]
[*]Set short-term and long-term poker goals
[*]Learn and master bankroll management
[*]Study poker
[*]Play poker as a job. 8-10 hours a day (40-60 hours a week)
[*]Constantly assess your ability to earn a living at poker (i.e what is your hourly rate)
[/LIST]
 [B]If YOU are responsible for your living expenses...[/B]

[LIST=1]
[*]GET A JOB!
[*]Learn bankroll management
[*]Study and play poker (on the side of your job) to build your bankroll
[*]When you begin making enough $$ to live on, then you can assess if you want to play poker for a living (or if your hourly rate at your job is more than you can make at poker).
[/LIST]
 Don't be discouraged with what you read here... it is very difficult to make a living at poker (online or live). [B]You have done a great job to build $10 to $2500.  [/B]Start with studying bankroll management to see if you can boost your bankroll to $10k (and beyond). As others have mentioned you MUST play at a higher stake than micros to have a possibility of making a living at poker.
