What kind of art jobs can you hold down that are not hard to obtain? I don't care if it's boring or banal, just something creative that I can do until I find a better job.
Is Graphic Design hard to get into? Pays well? Are the skills required hard to obtain?
anyone?

You'll be working along side a bunch of special cornflake women with colored hair, glasses, and feminist views who LUVVVVV typography :D and the token asian chick in the corner who doesn't get into any workplace drama and is the bosses favorite play date but the boss doesn't get that she's just being too friendly to him so she can move up the ladder and is in her culture and chad who is the top le graphic designer and well-rounded and educated and white nights the cornflake women in conversations over the water cooler but he only does this to survive the mental gymnastics you see chad is on your side you have to pretend to like the cornflake women or else the cornflake women will eat you alive and try to get you arrested for rape just looking them wrong just saying the wrong thing can get you charged for rape do you understand? You don't want to be a graphic designer in house.

It seems you did not heed thy warning of rape accusations and want your butthole to become frosted with your cellmate, Tyrone.
any real answers?
Uh, no, not really, my friend. No art position is easy to obtain because so many people go after them. Graphic design is saturated as anything else creative. To work in the industry, you need to be competitive. Finding stuff that's banal isn't hard, but getting into it absolutely will be.
Best answer? Move to Vietnam and work in an animation sweatshop. Or China, and copy classical paintings to sell on Ebay
draw bad-shaded porn and make a site with the word "base" on it.
make up something new. also have you ever thought of fashion or toys?

I just got my CDL and am gonna be a school bus driver. If I have to do this for not than a year I'll probably kill myself

You can copy classical paintings and sell them on eBay without moving to China.
Unless you want to counterfeit paintings and sell them for millions, but that's quite retarded.

How do you webdesign? What do you need to learn? Any good YT tuts or something?
Every job is hard, and it is even harder when it is not your passion and it's something you settled for because you thought it would be easier.

I'm not OP but I think some jobs are "less" hard, no? Would you tell someone that only designs logo is harder than drawing comics?
Yes I know, both end up asking for analysis, creativity, etc. But I think it's way harder to make comics as it asks that you know many different things for example.
If you're a dude, night shift clerk at a low-end hotel means you get large swathes of time in the wee hours of the morning to yourself, perfect for sketching and working on projects.
If you're a lady, absolutely not a night shift clerk at a low-end hotel. You will absolutely be rapemurdered. There are some creepy fucks that come around.

/gd/ freelancing it's easier than web design (web design pays better but you need to know a lot of stuff) so don't bother unless you want to learn js, bootstrap, php, jquery, etc.

Problem is passion is fickle and you don't even know how much you enjoy something until your doing it as a 8 hours a day.
You shouldn't be aiming to get an art job that you know you hate but you have to choose between something that you kinda like but pays well and is significantly easier vs something you are passionate about but pays shit and is super hard to get into. I think the logical choice is the former.
Chances are the thing you are passionate about has parts about it you hate anyways but didn't encounter at first and the two jobs are about the same.
