Thank you so much :333
Honestly that's a pretty good question.Β
What I can say is that there are definately pros to going to school to learn animation with an equal amount of cons, so I'll start with the cons.
Lets face it, college is EXPENSIVE, almost TOO expensive. Β I do NOT believe for a second that one can learn enough about this craft in four years, especially for an industry as competitive and everchanging as animation. Β A lot of what you learn during the time you spend in school is merely the basics, with a bit of advanced stuff. Β The biggest problem I see is that schools these days just do not prepare students well enough for the world ahead of them. Β It's almost not even worth the money to study traditional animation in an industry that almost completely relies on digital/3D animation.
However, learning animation and filmmaking in a structured school environment can definately be advantageous, because you learn to take direction and work with deadlines early in your experience. Β You will also share space on a regular basis with many like-minded people and instructors that will both motivate and inspire you. Β Some people just need that structure to get going. Β
The good news is though that just on the internet alone, there are TONS of free/cheap drawing/animation oriented tutorials and software at your fingertips, enough so that you're almost better off teaching yourself without drowning yourself in inevitable debt. Β I'm still screwed by my debt and Im still struggling to find work myself. Β
So it really comes down to what works best for you, whether you need that extra push from an instructor, or youre motivated enough to educate yourself. Β I hope this helps!

Actually, I wonder if it's even possible to find a job. I mean, there're a LOT of talented people, but the industry just don't need that many. For last 2 years it's been my dream to study in the school like that, because unfortunately I'm kind of people who can't motivate themself. But everyone knows that in the most schools they give just basis (and not only in art schools, everywhere) and don't prepare you for real work, also it's hard to find a job in such direction in the whole world, not talking about Russia, where I live, I don't even know if it's a profession here. So dream is a dream (and I feel very sad realising it), but I hardly can see art as a main education (at least in my country). I wish I could have it as a second education or something.
