What is your ideal goal for your art? What does your stuff look like now? How self-motivated are you? What school are you talking about? How good are you at negotiating with your parents? How much of an issue is money?

It's hard to give advice without knowing the full picture here.

Get a job. College gets you nowhere. If you want n art job, you need to just draw what you want to sell until you're good at it. If you can't study on your own you're another lost cause. go to the military, then get a job as a public servant.

Concept art. Decent, not professional lvl I still have a lot of work. Decently, been drawing 6h a day for almost a year now. School of textile and fashion design. It won't end too well if I don't go to a collage (they believe you can never get a decent job without a diploma). Money is a big issue, we are pretty poor (but schooling in my country is basically free).
Sry for not providing more info

Get a maths degree.

Get a part time job (20 hours a week max) to get your parents off your back so you can support yourself while leaving you with plenty of time for study.

Get a subscription to NewMastersAcademy and tell your parents you're going to an online college something, lol

Rushing you into art school is basically guaranteeing that they are going to unintentionally ruin your life. You are not missing out by not going to college right out of highschool, these colleges will still be there for you when all else fails. I've heard rumors that some art schools don't accept students that are older than 25, but just think of that, if you're just talking about school now you have 7 whole years before that's an issue.

Don't go to art school (yet), for the love of God. If you're interested in art as a career it should be a last resort if anything.

Would it be worthwhile to apply to studio positions (low level jobs) just to try to get my foot in the door? I'm currently releasing some games here and there for android to keep myself afloat and hopefully use them as a professional portfolio, but I often see that these studios want someone that has 2+ years of art education under their belt.

Get a job and find out what you want to accomplish with your art. College should be a valuable experience that you can build a career on, not something that you should do to get your parents to stop hassling you. It's your life and if you want to take time before you start college that should be fine by any reasonable person's standard.

Even still, college is not necessary when working with art. An art degree is only worth the art you can produce and learning how to produce art is something you can do on your own.

>I have to get into collage
You won't get into college with that spelling. Also, that's a horrible reason to go to college, just draw porn for Patreon or develop and actual interest in learning.

OP here.
My country is pretty third world and so are my parents. I've shown them lots of proof that artists don't need a college degree like other professions but they simply choose to not believe it. They are completely convinced that people without a diploma will never get a job.
And don't get me wrong I like learning and would really like to use the college experience to form some friendships (have 0 art friends) but this school is my only realistic option and it's for fashion... You can imagine what kind of people go there. I don't believe I'll find worthwhile connections or like-minded friends. I was thinking of cheesing it while focusing on "real art" in whatever spare time I'll have.
I've been doing that anyway but my as far as my parents are concerned I'm wasting my time without a school.
I think I'm gonna do it in the end, who knows maybe I find connections and people and I can get an extra 2 years at any art/design related collage abroad. Here I don't have any real art college options.
Hopefully it will pay off if anything maybe future employers will see that I can work with people...
This shit really sucks because the schools are shitty and have nothing to offer even if you want to stick to that career path.
Wish me luck anons. Pray I find like-minded friends so I don't be the weirdo who never talks to anybody and just draws landscapes and anatomy studies..

how old/dependant are you? why don't you have the balls to tell your parents 'fuck you i won't do what you tell me!' and self teach like a real badass motherfucker who ain't afraid of nobody?

Probably because they're living with their parents and don't want to get kicked out; I imagine there's a reason they say that a local fashion college is the only thing available to them. I'd like to imagine it's not the only college in the country and the others are just too far away to commute from home.

Op should link the college he's thinking of attending first and foremost

>>2509614
That is correct. The page doesn't even have an english option so it won't do any good.
There are 4 art collages I can attend, 2 are not applicable (arhitecture which requires very good math knowledge and I'm complete shit at it and graphic design one wich is very well known to be complete shit and lasts only a year and a half) and then theres this fashion design one (wich ofc emphesises fashion design more than drawing) and the fine arts one who accepts very few students and everybody gets in illegaly by bribes.
The fashion one is my only real option. I don't have the math knowledge to get into arhitecture and don't have the cash to bribe my way into fine arts.
There's another school but it's also shitty and very far away (i'd have to move and rent something expensive because it's in a tourist city and prices are horrifying for everything, food costs almost 4 times more than here).
Besides I'd be grinding my art any way, they don't teach enough fundamental art not to.

Get a teaching degree. it's stupid easy, required for the teaching jobs that actually pay well, and a surefire employment plan b.
A title doesn't get you a good art job, a portfolio does.
