I made a thread about this last night, but it archived with no

I don't think you should let the potential difficulty hold you back. It interests you, you believe you'll enjoy, I'd say go for it. If you can qualify, I'd go for some financial aid and carefully watch how much you're awarded. Avoid student loans if you can and go for grants and (if possible) scholarships to minimize cost.

You should probably get a part-time job as well, but the job + school will definitely kick your ass. It can be hard to juggle, but it's worth it. I'm halfway done with my bachelor's and I have no student debt.

essentially it comes down to why you failed out of college before. if it was because of laziness or poor time management, that can be fixed.

I will tell you only my story. I was send to a labor highschool because I wasn't smart enough in maths, grammar and such. I am a creative person, but there was no highschool for that. So I finished labor school thinking, this is it you know, my family is like this. I should just settle for it. But I always felt there was something wrong. After years working in factories I finally made the decision to get the right papers to do the bachelore degree I wanted to do. It tooks me 2 years to get those papers. I applied for the bachelor and I got rejected....Another year in a factory it was. Next year I applied again and I finally got in. I am now going into my graduation year as a music composer and sound designer for visual media. And people dig me because I stay true to myself, I have an own style and I'm good at it. Just because I'm loyal to myself and don't make many concessions to fit in the status quo.

no idea. but consider this:

art is subjective. you very likely failed because there were certain concepts that not everyone can wrap their mind around. iti s about a level of skill.

science is objective. 2 + 2 will always equal 4. so as long as you can actually learn something, you will be fine.

and on top of that, you can still explore art in your spare time.

But I am still unhappy. But at least I got the career/school thing figured out. These things are easy you know, you just have to put time and energy in it and the rest just comes. You can control it so well. But all the other life stuff is way more difficult. Don't let yourself be scared by school/career/work, you can bend this reality so well with only will.
