well, i mean if you're going to go to school for anything you have to have a target on where you want to go afterwards. most of the problem i see with people that go to school is that they go and get their degree, but after that they find themselves doing something else that's irrelevant to their degree. most likely for different reasons such as they need a higher degree to get where they want (more school) or, they haven't found exactly what role they will play in whatever industry they apply themselves to.
say if you go to art school and you major in graphic design. you might finish school and say, hey, im going to wokr at so and so and be a graphic designer or im going to work at so and so and be an illustrator. unless you find that what you do is important to not only yourself but to other people as well, then that is probably where you will want to be. fine artists are different because they can apply their work to a different amount of things. i guess the point im trying to make is to do your research but try not to over analyze or you'll get lost.
im kind of in the same situation right now with what i want to do. i got my hands into a lot of things over the past years(graphic design, music, photography) and right now im tyring to figure out whether school is a way or just building myself and my work and learning how to properly market myself as a freelance worker and become my own boss.
look into the creative track for advertising, i think there might be something there for people who like art, pop culture etc.
look into the creative rols for advertising. there might be something there for artists who are inspired by mixed media type stuff.
