Tim, you sound a little lost. You should start by asking yourself a few questions. What am I best at? What do I love doing?

You won't get rich working for someone else...rich people get that way by selling other people's hard work. So don't have wealth as your mindset if you're a creative.

So just ask yourself if you can make a living doing what you love to do. Keep it simple and go for it. Anything done in earnest will reap its own rewards. You're not guaranteed to succeed, but you can't win if you don't play.

Avoid excuses at all costs. Some of the best excuse makers I've ever met are professionally unemployed.

If you love design, just go for it. There's a lot of competition, but that shouldn't be your concern. If you have something to contribute, you will. And you'll be paid for it.
