You could Consider going into VFX, as either a Technical Animator (Think Maya/Blender, animating creatures etc), or a Creature Effects person (wrangling Fur and other strange character effects), or a support Pipeline Engineer, where you are in the background helping all the artists in the Studio make the VFX shots.

Lots of the time, you will save your teammates hides by introducing in useful tools if you can program well with python etc.

Although I personally think just working a normal boring low-stress programming job is great, then doing Art on the side whenever creativity hits... Doing Art when you are not feeling creative _IS THE WORST_
