How much ahead I can get in hacking if I start and dedicate my life to it? I am 24 and learn/research 7 to 8 hours at night.

I am 24 who works a menial jobs. I have Bachalors’s in law and finance. I hate people and working normal jobs. I had knack for computers since 2013 but never took it seriously.

These past days, I am in love with them and pursuing them at night after my call center job.

I spend 7 to 8 hours after work.

I live 9 to 5 and then do 5 to 9 in computers. I sleep for 3 hours and Love to work by being high on Energy drinks.

Can a man of average to below average be a good hacker in 4 to 5 years?

I want to mess with reverse engineering, 0 day exploits, scripting, hardware, AI and more.
