Ok, here's the situation.
I graduated from a state university about a year ago with a degree in advertising. Since then, I have been working at an Advertising Media company doing general marketing work (media planning, account planning, graphic design, etc.) but it's not really what I'd like to do for a living. I think what I would like to do, is to be an Art/Creative Director, which would require more of a design background than what I have. Soooo, I've been looking at more school. Right now, I have three choices.
Choice 1: A smaller, but supposedly good, local school which would only be a few minutes drive from my current job and wouldn't interfere with work. This would require me to take out further student loans, with higher interest rates, because it is not an accredited school.
Choice 2: A larger school, with international and local branches. This choice would require me to quit my current job and find a new part-time job. This would also require me to restructure my living situation, since I wouldn't be able to afford the cost of living on a part time salary. This school is accredit, so not only could i get cheaper gov't sponsored student loans and grants as well.
Choice 3: Neither school. Keep working my current job and see if something comes along that I like better.
What's a guy to do?
