Blender Render will teach you more that cycles ever could about light.
To master it you need to really understand light. Andrew has a lot of
good non-Academy tuts that show this. Also don't forget the other
render engines out there! Really in the end it is all about waiting.
You can render anything, if you are willing to wait and don't over
look the online render tools.

Also computers are 2 times better every 14 months. You might be low on
the tech curve but you will still get better stuff at your level every
14 months! Plus don't be afraid to sell you work out of country. If
you are good enough you can work freelance for people in first world
countries and get really good pay checks for you.
