Here's the thing about artistic fields that seems to amount to an open secret: hard work is just as important as talent. In fact, it's actually more important; a guy who meets his deadlines with mediocre work is better than a guy with all the talent in the world who doesn't meet deadlines. Deadlines, deadlines, deadlines.
That said, in the real world, you're going to be competing with people who have both work ethic and talent. They're going to get jobs before you. If you can handle that, hey, go for it. The key is enjoying the work, because this will motivate you to overcome any lack of talent with practice, perseverence, etc.
