@ninezee Let me just say: I started out Blender with huge plans, but with a growing family, and a demanding job I already have that pays all my bills. For me I had to eat the reality that either I quit my job and tell my wife to handle everything until I become an absolute pro like Wes’ friend did, or I just do this to de-stress as a hobby activity. That was 3 years ago. I’m still a noob albeit a much better noob than I used to be. I feel like I am slowly building my experience, but I also get to keep my good paying job and my wife and kids feel appreciated most days, haha.
To each their own. I hope you take the necessary steps for what you want to accomplish.
