Im taking a loan out for approx 50k for art school in January (3d animation). This covers tuition and living expenses for the 1 year intensive course. It's a really good school apparently - but I'm still nervous about the year ending, being 25 years old, jobless and my life being screwed from debt.

Everyone is encouraging me saying its an investment in my future, but I'm still nervous about it.
Anyone had any experiences, or words of wisdom?

I'm a recent college grad... private school... costs $43k a year.

I'm currently 30k in the hole, while my friend is 70k, while my other friend is 110k. All this for undergrad.

I'm also applying for med schools... which will add another 100k to my debt.

If it's something you actually love, and you wish to pursue a career in art, then go all out. However, manage your expenses well, carefully plan out a budget, and also, try to pick up some part time jobs to help with the expenses. You'll be fine. Good luck bud.

No, not screwed ever, if you research the job market, know about the placement record of the school.
