This would be a great question to ask on growthhackers.com (started by Sean Ellis - the guy that coined the phrase "growth hacker") . There's a lot of misconceptions and preconceived notions about what growth hacking and/or a growth hacker actually is - and is something that continues to be a subject of a lot of (healthy) debate. The growthhackers.com community has some genuine growth hackers on it and I think will be best positioned to give you a really well informed response on what it is to a growth hacker and have it as a career. Hope that helps.
