Question 1: Should I go straight into a university after high school or go to community college for a few years?
I feel like there's no right or wrong answer for this question because when it comes to college there is no one way to go about it. Everyone's path is going to be different. For some it might benefit them to save all the money it takes to go straight into a University and just study at a community college. Especially if they cannot afford to pay the expense of a University or they aren't positive which major and career path they'd like to take. On the other hand, if you can afford it and you are sure about the path you wish to take then attending a University right after high school might be what is best for you. Community college just slows down the whole graduating from college process a bit. So you've got to take a look at your situation and figure out what would be best for you.
Question 2: Would majoring in art/design/film be a waste?
It's only a waste if you choose to make it one. Someone could major in business and end up being a middle school teacher; that could technically be considered a waste. You know yourself better than anyone else so if you believe you might possibly want to pursue a career that has to do with art/design/film then go for it. Your college education is for you; not for your parents, teachers, friends, or siblings. Personally, I know that a career in film, both behind and on camera, is absolutely what I want to pursue in life. It feels pretty awesome being this sure about something. I use to be ashamed to say that's what I wanted to do in life. I would tell people I wanted to be a lawyer or something because I thought what I really wanted to do was silly and more of a dream than something real. But not anymore. It is a dream, my dream, and I'm going to work to make my reality as well. Go after what you want.
