2) you have the requisite money management skills

Of course you might have a good run and make a ton of money.
The problem is that you're clearly not ready. By this I mean that you haven't grown a bankroll. Had you done so over a period of time and had the confidence of knowing that you could do it, you'd probably be good to go; assuming you could handle the added pressure of knowing that you had no money coming in if you lost. Then again, if you'd grown a bankroll, you probably wouldn't be looking to work for a living.
