There's no retirement for an artist, it's your way of living so there's no end to it. Options

Do you see (realistically) yourself going anywhere in the future with whatever digital medium you work with? What I'm meaning to ask is, is it just a hobby or do you expect to make bank off of it? If you think you can make a living off of it, what makes you think you're capable of doing so, when there are so many other capable designers and such out there? Obviously, if you're already living the dream (so to speak), I don't expect you to answer these, haha (directed to some of our very own members; props).

Me, I'm definitely not creative or knowledgeable enough in any digital field to make a living off of it. I've tried a little of everything, and it all interests me--I'm just not exceptionally good at any one field (or any field, for that matter).

you'd be surprised by the number of firms/companies willing to hire mediocre talent and train them to be better. for instance, the firm im working at is looking for some interns to do the small work. I'm having to concentrate on the bigger tasks so we're hiring interns to do online support, minor website updates for clients, and actually help in the design process for the bigger projects as well. we dont need anyone who's especially good, because they may be over qualified for the position we're prepared to hire for. But at the same time, we can TRAIN these people to be better, and with that they'll have a better chance of bagging a bigger job in the future, either at our firm as a permanant hire, or somewhere else.
