I'm trying to go pro too, so let's see what I can suggest. Since you say you're looking to go pro, there's lots of things to consider.

First, since you said only the last two were edited, well, I'd suggest to not show any work that's not ready to be shown.

Also, it looks like a lot of them have exposure (mostly underexposure) problems. (Keep in mind, I'm all for dark and moody images, but there's a difference between "dark and moody" and "underexposed".) Not trying to bust on you or anything, just telling what I see.

What type of photography do you want to do for a living? Portraits? Or something commercial?

I'm going to school for photography now (almost done finally!!!), and what they tell me all the time is "shoot, shoot, shoot". So I'd suggest to get the technical aspects down first, keep shooting, then shoot some more. Assist a working photographer whose work you admire if you can.

That's all I can think of for now (and plus I gotta go to bed!), but if I think of anything else I'll post it here.
