Money don't get everything it's true, but what it don't get I can use

Well, it's that time again where I'm wandering the streets of Toronto enjoying the sunshine but still wondering where I'm going. It seems that in order for something to be a success, it requires three things. You need a product, you need to sell it and you need people to like it enough to buy it so it makes you money. Let's tackle the first. I have a product but I need money to finish it. Now taking a job that pays anywhere from $7 to $8 dollars an hour won't cut it, unless I want to finish my product in 2089...and even then I have the added worry of bills and a mortgage. Having a job that requires you to free some time for your product would be nice, but no one will hire anyone unless they have an EXTENSIVE knowledge of computer programs.....that's funny, I thought the ART work came first. There's also the time factor, if I take the time to learn what I need to know in order to get the job that pays well...well there's that 2089 year again. So basically, I need money. The second issue is the selling. Of course the dollar rears it ugly head again. You need money to make money. The more money you want to make the more money you need to spend it seems. I could do the 1920's method and stand on a sidewalk doing caricatures or whatever and MAYBE get enough by...you guessed it...2089. Now the third issue, the public. People I guess will buy what they are told to buy, you can even go so far as to convince people to get something they don't really need, $5 coffee from Starbucks anyone? Getting people to pay for something is always a gamble. It always depends on taste and whether or not some people have it....and even that can be manipulated. That's why most artists have minor strokes wondering if they're really doing anything worth while. Now most people who aren't in the biz will tell me...well why don't you start your own company? Why don't you do an online comic? Why don't you get a job while your waiting for your "epic" to be finished? I think the first and third questions are answered above, as for the second I can only say that in order to think of something you want to do, have the time to do it, and have the atmosphere to do it in...well that takes...um....what was that word again?
