Quitting engineering to pursue art full-time

This is why I never really tried. I thought I could sell art but it's a grind and political. It seems like either you can work constantly to sell art to fund making art or half ass it at some corporate job, make a ton of money and make art?

Corporate jobs don't leave much time to really make art unless it's halfassed garbage.

Thanks I guess I've been making half assed garbage lol
