Well, in my opinion you can always go a class at a time. I did. It took a long time, but I finished - finally! LOL!
You could do some online courses now. Who knows - you might even change your mind at what you want to do a few times before you get into it full time.
You just never know what is around the corner. I think it is best to start pursuing it now. Have something you are striving for and for yourself. Not about someone else.
I think it is important to have your 'own' thing going on.
One class at a time is better than giving up on the dream. in my humble opinion.
