Don't you, guys, think that trying to find this happy balance between working full-time and learning detracts you? You cannot focus fully on your learning as you have these minor challenges and problems that slow down your learning..

Depends on what the rest of your schedule looks like.

But $$$ is more important than not being distracted.

I teach introduction workshops for people looking at starting to explore development, and it's pretty amazing what people can learn in 6 hours a week for just a few weeks.

It will definitely take longer. But you'll be able to pay rent and eat.
