Depends on cost of living. If the game is really juicy and cost of living is really low then it can be done. I have seen it done. Keep in mind my experience has been that in these games the straddle is very frequently on, you have to table hop to the best table, and there isn't really a mid stakes game offered at the same cardhouse.
I know two local pros that started at 1/2 and one guy from the UK who rents an apartment for a few months at a time and grinds a lot of 1/2 when there isn't a better midstakes game being offered.
But if there is a decent midstakes game being offered, you want to play in it for sure over the 1/2 game. If you are playing professionally at these types of 1/2 games then you probably need to be rolled for a standard 2/5 game that plays in places like Vegas and LA.
