This is a race that the tortoise always wins. 

I feel your pain - You feel like the ceramic market is passing you by while you learn and better your craftsmanship. Must look at the long haul to know where you are going, but look at your immediate progress to keep your spirit up. Don't be afraid to sit and gaze into your finished work and admire what has been done. The dread of not getting to your goal will come back soon enough.
