Career change

Hi everyone. I'm a full time tattoo artist and i'm getting diagnosed with chronic diseases like endometriosis, adenomyosis, PMOS which causes chronic pain and other things.

Almost every month i'm forced to cancel a lot of appointments and these last few days I've been thinking about a mid-time career change. But i don't see myself not working as a creative. The first thing that came in my mind was 2D animation, i don't have any professional level yet but animating makes me feel so full, like i never felt before.

I want to learn more, takes classes, and why not someday like in a year (or two, or three) find a job in the industry ?

Anyways, i do need a job where i can stay at home and i can't keep tattooing full time in this economy. But I see here a lot of super super talented people not finding a job and i'm like, yeah, maybe it's not worth it

Do you think being passionate will be enough or should i keep learning without hoping to get a job someday ?
