It's to soon to give up, if you are having fun don't. Everyone has to deal with rejections for reasons you don't agree with, slow months, and if you didn't start early on - not seeing a lot of sales before getting a solid portfolio with varied subjects. As an added bonus, working on subjects out of your comfort zone will only make you better all around.
You have a day job and already said you enjoy the travel and photography, don't give up. If you are enjoying yourself keep going. One thing I had to do was evaluate what site's I was working with and pare down to the sites and subjects that were working. Realistically, you need about 6 - 12 months to look at everything and then decide.
If you are traveling and want people in your photos, get a release app for your phone (I use Easy Release) and not have an issue with SS,IS, Alamy, or BS with the release it generates. I never thought I would like or use it as much as I do.
