Don't go to uni, you can learn everything at home, you can even get AAA jobs from home without school connections now with how the internet is, art station and all.

Most art courses are godawful anyway, and I'm talking modern art shitting paint out of your vagina awful, no marketable skills taught whatsoever. And the ones that are good aren't teaching you anything you couldn't have learnt on your own anyway.

Another thing, if you think "I'll go to uni and study because it'll force me to get the work done so I don't have to be disciplined" don't fucking do it, I made that mistake and it was years of last minute procrastination and suffering because I didn't actually have the discipline to do the work of my own accord. Develop the discipline to get shit done on your own and you'll be better off in the long run (and 30k less debt)

I personally don't trust the student loan system, why would anyone set up a system that has an extremely low chance of making them any money back? That's like economic darwinism. Especially since nobody has been on the loan long enough to see how it realistically all plays out over the 30 years. It might be fine but it's shady as fuck in my opinion.
