Bitcoin mining is now a specialized and very risky industry, just like gold mining. Amateur miners are unlikely to make much money, and may even lose money. Bitcoin is much more than just mining, though!

Zero Confirmation Transactions are not safe right now because a new transaction could be sent to be included in the block before the first transaction with a higher fee. I think in the future it will end up being made to be safe to accept zero confirmation transactions but you should stick to atleast 1 confirmation but more is better.
