I jumped into mining with a purchase of a $15 AntMiner USB chip. I'm not and never had any belief I'd make much of a profit on it, it was mostly for learning. But I'm wondering if it's even possible to make any profit.
In the short term no in the long term probably also a no but you never know what price Bitcoin will appreciate to
If you can get free electricity say at school or at a university then yes it is profitable
But you can use a mining calculator such as this one
