Hey Reddit, 

Some background, 20, still living my folks,  in between jobs. I've started thinking about this a lot more seriously in the past 12 hours after reading through the comments of an AskReddit thread asking what the biggest scams were that they fell for. None of it really struck a cord with me until I got to a top comment saying The Art Institute. I go to an art institute, Salt Lake to be more accurate, also one of the ones that are shutting down. 

Before I enrolled I did research thinking it was a good choice I bought into all the flashy advertisements. After I'd read up more research after seeing that comment I got a horrible sinking feeling..."Was the past year and a half a huge mistake?"... "Everyone says they still have a mountain of debt, is that what's waiting for me?"... "They say career services are a joke."

After about an hour of looking things up I got scared, I didn't know what I was doing. What could I do? What do i tell my parents? Do i bite the bullet, keep going and carve out my own way? 

I'm in the game art & design program by the way. I just don't know what to do. Or how I would do it if I did. Any advice is appreciated, I just feel lost.

I probably could've worded it better, I did do research outside of ads. The knowledge of how to be better in my career is what I'm ultimately after regardless of where I go to school as long as i can know as much as possible, and the school I'm going to I believe is helping me but after reading more into it I'm not even sure how well I'm being taught or how much I can apply. Granted I'm not in the more advanced classes but even still I don't want to end up paying more than i should, or have career services that aren't helpful.
