I'd suggest going to art school if you're very serious about it

Right now, I would say get work as an artist. Literally any work -- production work, illustration, anything. You want a portfolio you can pull into a reel. If there is a graphics department on campus, try to get a job there. And network. If you can't get a job through school, transfer to a state university. You really should be paid to learn the stuff you HAVE to know to get these jobs, while paying for the courses which will make it easy for you to learn how to do the things they will pay you for. That's why I'm generally down on For Profit institutions. EDIT: On-Line? For ART ANIMATION AND ACTING? Those are CRAFT subjects. Seriously, look around Wisconsin RIGHT NOW for a Community College or University you can get into. You get those jobs by networking AND by impressing people with your skill.s -- i.e. your professors are the first step. ON-LINE? You won't get a job. I guarantee it.
