First, you have to ask yourself what you like doing (or learning about) the most, regardless of how much money you can make with it. Then you should work on that. If it's really what you want to do, you will make it work! Even if it takes longer than 3.5 months. Maybe get a "normal" job, as you say, until you have figured it out.

What I'm trying to say here is that you should look at the long-term and not the short-term.

I'm definitely looking for a long-term investment (I think coding fits the bill), but I do need short-term money and if I can combine both that'd be a win.

Coding is fun (atleast the stuff I did at home, aside from the university problem sets), but I'm no whiz so that's why I think I could become a product manager in the future.
