Well, I'm a writer who is having trouble reading, with a recent bout of encephalitis causing some brain damage or at least fogginess and tiredness. As a novelist/poet who picks up paint brushes for fun, I either need to take the time to rebuild my brain or find another way of expressing myself with the current brain I'm in. Atm, I personally feel art is impossible. My friend is songwriting and trying to up her professionalism with a website and online body of work.

There is tons of money in graphic art and photography. Painting is doable but a really hard road, especially at the beginning.

The easiest money is custom work for hire. This requires deep technical skill OR a destinctive style people like. Then people hire you for the style. Finding and developing that and the market for it can take time.

The easiest is photography, but the cost of equipment is not trivial
