<prompt> Human: Ive tried to ask this question in the wrong way at least three times now, and in the wrong subreddits! I think Ive got it down.Heres my plan:I am a senior in high school. I want to attend an art school that isnt going to drive me into the ground with debt. I want to major in game artentertainment artillustration. So far Ive found LAAFA, LCAD, SJSU, PCC Pasadena city college, and FZD. Four of these are in California FZD is in Singapore.I know nothing about how to deal with debt, nor have I lived alone or in an expensive city. As of right now I have 0 funds supposedly.I think that going to Pasadena City College is my best bet but it still has the issue of huge living costs.What kinds of colleges and programs should I be looking for? Is it smart to live in an expensive city while alone in college? How much money loans should I take, max? Can I make it at an expensive school? Should I just go to an atelier instead? What should I consider the most? How do I calculate and prepare for all of these expenses? Am I worrying too much about finances too soon? If you could answer any one of these questions Id be grateful. Please ask if you need me to provide more info. Even a link to a helpful post would be great.  <response>: My advice: Find a new major that will actually land you a good job and keep the art thing as a hobby.Ive watched many people go thousands in debt to be artists, only to end up working at Starbucks for 10hr. and never ever get ahead.Please, please reconsider.
