- Go to school. You will meet people there that will be helpful to you in the future. Plus you will have an obligation to learn.
- Graphic Design? I'm not sure. If you can add new media knowledge to it, like CSS/HTML & UI design skills you will be golden.
- I wouldn't suggest 3D because you will mostly become a worker if you can land a job. People will tell you what to do and you will be doing those day and night.
- During school try to do pro-bono or cheap works to people. This will help you learn more skills and a good addition to your CV/Portfolio
- After 2 years you can decide on which direction you want to continue. You can take extra courses or enroll in a different program that will teach different skills.Basically school will help you to draw a direction. Without it there's so much to learn and your mind might get scattered and you might end up not being good at anything.
I went to school for two years at first then switched to 4 years. I had that option. But I assume you're young so a pre-undergrad education might help you to enter better schools/programs.
