It's a wonderful feeling to see a marked progression in your work, but I know i'll never be able to do this for a living no matter how far I progress. The industrial society we live in has cranked the dial to the absurd. People will always treat pretty pictures like pictures and nothing more. Normies can't really appreciate the complexity and skill an artist's mind operates at to deliver them a unique visual experience.
Who else feels the same way?

>he thinks 2 hours of programming is enough
I had a good laugh.
Not.
Gonna.
Make.
It.
Ever.
In fact, I hope you crash and burn just so you learn from your mistakes. Crash and burn real hard.

I haven't started learning programming yet.
I was intending to create poorly coded ideas and make some money off of them.
I was going to start with "Learn Python the hardway"

Not gonna make it.

everyone is going to programing, your better off drawing than to program for a job

You'll never be a zuckerberg. But with art you have a chance to be someone special. Decide on if you want to be a blue collar monkey in a cubicle or drawing pictures for man children and horny teenagers. And remember:

I'm not a programmer, but I heard a lot that is a really awful job, that you need to have a lot of knowledges, no one respects you and the wage it's pretty low.

I feel you OP. As my 21st birthday approached I realized I have dabble with many things but have mastered skills. I currently dedicate four hours a day to programming and two to music production, and I'm in LAS to at least draw somewhat a day.
I feel like it's too much but don't want to give up on trying to master any of those things. I also am really trying to work on my fitness and start dating. It feels overwhelming trying to pick up all this slack. I see artist romances on some sites and it's a bit disheartening because it'll take until I'm 30 to near their quality
