that is a really tough question to give a pat answer to.
As Mj has asked - how good are you?
Also how experienced are you?
Do you have a portfolio ( sites as examples ) to show?
Are you willing to never stop learning? In SEO you never can stop learning.
So if your good - really good, have experience and a good portfolio and are willing to keep learning and can work with customers ( which is not always easy lol ) then yes I would say you can earn a living at this. As to how much $ - well again there is no pat answer. Some of it depends on what I asked you above and also is there a specific field you will be working in - what county do you live in. These are all factors.
Suffice it to say I know of several people who do web design and SEO and generate about 5,000+ a month of income.
That is NOT to say you will/can. Not saying you can't - just don't take my friends examples as me saying "yes, you can"
