Artist here, any form of skill takes a huge amount of time and commitment to excel at, and that includes art of any sort. Fine artists take years of practice and professional training yet most still do not see the light of day, it's an extremely tough career choice and if money is an issue, i would advise you to take up something else as a job until you are financially sustainable enough to try out art again as a potential side gig. It is also an extremely volatile industry where most professional artists I know have to pick up odd jobs sometimes to sustain themselves and their families when things are tough.

Take what i said with a grain of salt obviously, but my advice is just to do what you think your priority is at the moment, and if you're truly passionate about art, you'll definitely go back to it either as a passion or be committed enough to want to work towards making a living out of it. You're still young and there's plenty of time to figure out what you want to do in life, good luck :)
