^^ +1, you can't possibly expect to make $60k/year out of poker on short notice. And that is not even considering that you are wasting on-the-job experience, which is also worth a lot of future $$$ (hint: "professional poker player" is worth zip on your engineer's resume).
Besides, if you are willing to go overseas to play poker, then I assume you also wouldn't mind working overseas, and you can make much more than $60k doing that.
You'd be much better off learning poker as a hobby on the side. You can still spend considerable time at the tables after work and on weekends.
