Studying too many hours per day?

Would studying/practicing HTML/CSS 5 hours a day for three months be enough to get a $40k salary/job?

• Studying in the USA -Job could be ANYWHERE in the USA or remote. -Studying would be self study via TreeHouse and/or Codecademy, etc. -4-6 hours per day for 3 months.....or...8-12 hour per day for 1.5 months. -My assumption is these skills would be needed working in the sales, or marketing departments. If not, what would be required to obtain an entry level, $20 per hour job?

• Answer:

  I absolutely love Treehouse and their resources, but I think you may be setting yourself up a bit thin in terms of time..when I initially started learning web design, I put myself on a similar timeframe. What I found out was that there were a lot of things around the corner that I initially couldn't see and which that timeframe would in no way be able to accommodate. Of course these things included technical stuff (debugging, cross-compatibility issues, etc) but just being able to navigate through the field and understand the roles played and what you're best-suited for can be a challenge in itself. Also, life can get in the way at times. I know you want to be employed, but my question to you would be what exact position are you looking to be in? Once that's understood, I think we can go from there and the path might be a bit more clear.
