Computer Design and Computer programming is one tough job. You need to be a left and right brained person to do that. Which is really hard (for what i know).
You do not have to find all. Start of what kind program you have at the moment and be good at it. Besides, its the though of being good at design and practicing your artistic sense is what you have to consider. Then if you have the money you could start learning to use new programs but still, that artistic sense will not be washed out right?
