You don't want a giant loan, hovering over you for the next 20+ years. I have too many friends that are being held back by student loans.
Do you need the education? To be a designer, no. If you have the desire to learn go to a university and get a more generalized education while working as a designer on the side. Learn to write, study art, computer science, philosophy, and whatever else you are interested. Be a well-rounded human first. If you continue to enjoy design, keep working in the field.
Now to pay for that don't put your whole life on loans for five years. You will work it off for many years if you do that. Borrow as little as you possibly can. Work part-time and live as frugally as possible.
Don't go to art school. Loads of hogwash for kids who don't know what to do with themselves.
