Most def. This is something a lot of people are interested in and the ones who make it are dedicated enough to do it to the detriment of all other areas of their life.

If you want a life outside of your work anytime soon this field isn't for you.

In IT you also need to learn new things in your free time if you want to succeed. 3d isn’t worse than other industries, unless you maybe work in some giant vfx companies where you are treated like a slave, but that’s your fault.

Also you can unironically learn a lot of things from other fields while doing 3d because you often have to study references. It can lead you through quite a journey, which is fun.

I'm a character modeller, started as a generalist in the industry and the part where "detriment of all other areas of their life" is pretty bullshit. I work 8 hours a day, go to gym 3 times a week, have a relationship, hang around with family and friends from time to time. The craft is tough but the key is to do it a little by little and make progressively make it difficult for yourself overtime to challenge yourself and get better. Be smart about how you do this, ive seen a lot of young cg peeps completely kill their life with a retarded mindset like that.

You definitely need some cash, but it's doable. Took me about a year and a half of 8+ hour/day grind before recruiters started to knock on my door.

we've been trying to find technical animator for over a year now, so definitely not oversaturated

Thank you for your comments and opinions, I believed this dead thread.

I have also done more research on this and from my point of view, the optimal options if you are going to enter the 3d industry would be:
1) Enter an area where there is strong demand and little competing talent as a UX.
2) Have connections that facilitate entry into the industry.
3) Be very good at the sector in which you specialize.
4) Last but capable and the best? Find a niche, maybe sculptures for Warhammer to give an example.

I clarify, they are the "optimal" situations not mandatory for success and are according to my opinion.

Although I have also seen that the standard is not so high, the number of people who are not very dedicated, who stagnate, who simply do not bother to learn, etc. are the vast majority, I have even seen a lot of "experts" with "8 years of experience" and it is a terrible thing what they have as a portfolio, then maybe the 5) is to have a little luck?

Sorry sweet prince, I have to improve my English, it is not my native language,

Finally, sorry if TL;DR u.u

In general, if you are a halfway decent sculptor, you'll find work.

That being said, 3D modellers generally don't get paid as much as coders, riggers, animators etc.

But you can get a job fairly quick, then learn (or get better) at the other skills like materials, rigging, animation, etc so later on you can get a better paying gig.

Sculpting miniatures is a totally different skill than sculpting for video games and is just as hard to master as making models for games.
