How to change direction from the Web?

Question

Career in IT

Hello.
A bit of information to understand what's what)
At the moment I'm studying in the 11th grade, while working on freelance, I'm doing regular sites or SPA with all the bells and whistles, there is also a little backend with a database.
The experience is small, but I'm already starting to feel the loss of interest in web development. Everything is quite simple, all the projects that I did are similar, they have common functionality.
In short, the understanding comes that I do not want to make the web all my life, roughly speaking.
I'm interested in graphics, maybe something about game development, I realized that mathematics is needed. To do this, I began to study Computer Science from various sources, there is both mathematics and operating systems - a theory that is studied by "like cool specialists", now I'm digging into transistors (if I'm not mistaken in naming). Quite interesting, plus I reinforce with practice. Summarizing - I like some kind of low-level chtoli, how everything works, and so on.
And now what is the question. After school, I wanted to immediately go to get a job at the front-end, I think that there is enough knowledge for a junior. But now I understand that the web is not as interesting to me as it used to be. How not to starve to death while studying the right theory for the direction you are currently interested in, and how not to stay forever in web development?

No

in gamedev, bigdata, AI will be the same.

not directly related to CS

do something for which you will be paid money

not needed
It's good for understanding how things work, but it doesn't really help solve business problems.
Webpack, React/Vue.js/Angular, Sass, ES7, Mocha/Jest, NPM, SVG, Flexbox - exactly?
TypeScript, WebGL, Microservices, and Design patterns could bring back interest.
sounds like a sentence

Answer 3

In order not to die of hunger, it is necessary to realize the Wishlist for which they pay. It's almost always boring and uninteresting.

Answer 4

You didn’t die of hunger before, you have a whole year more time to study anything

Answer 5

If you want adventure, then arrange your own startup.
Gather a good team, find an investor, get a profit.
Pluses, you will learn the whole harsh reality of the IT market, you will learn how to communicate with big guys, you will unrealistically pump your skills in all directions, you will be able to realize all your innermost dreams.
Cons, may discourage the desire to stay in IT.

Answer 6

As an option - go dig into real transistors. Buy some thread of a scarf with a microcontroller, try to build something on it - you will understand how it all works and whether it is yours. There is always work to be done, but not enough hands. But it's not easy, and you have to learn. In the meantime, you must not die of hunger. So wherever you go - first look for how to make money.
