Axrevolutionai is so right! I could've saved myself a lot of heartache if I learned a trade.

You want to know what happened? After working restaurants and living like shit, I had to learn a trade anyways! Now instead of learning it in a nice formal school environment, I got it from some asshole that worked me like a dog and tried to avoid paying me every paycheck. Think my corporate landlord cared? Nope.

It wasn't until I started my own business that I started moving up the ladder, and making awesome money. After running someone elses business, you realize how easy it is to do it yourself. Its perfecting the skill which takes time. This time can be shortened if you go to a trade school first. Get some marketable skill and soak up any business or management classes along the way. Dead serious.

If you love the arts, avoid art school too. If you get a job that makes good money, you can take that money and spend it on equipment you like for your hobbies - art, music, martial arts, sports, etc. You wont have to beg people for money, and you can afford higher quality equipment, and even pay the freelance teachers when they are outside of school. Now that's supporting the Arts!

Seriously kid, do yourself a favor and get a trade that everyone needs. For example, if you like Florida, and want to move there, maybe learn HVAC. People rich and poor need AC in Florida and they'll pay the money for it. Especially companies in emergencies. Maybe one day you build your own business and provide an opportunity to others, and make even more money.

Start thinking bigger like that and you can really enjoy your 20s. Mine was fucked up, and full of unecessary drama. I'd kill for a redo.

Sorry for the long post, but I'm pretty passionate about people not falling down the same hard road as me.
