I would agree! Save your money, buy a few bits of gear (don't go overboard at this stage!), take on a job you can bare to pay the bills and contact local film makers and students. Start on their low/no budget films and learn all the problems you will encounter. This will make the transition to working on high budget productions easier as you have experienced all of the worse case scenarios!!
Of course there a couple of really good books out there and also ask questions in forums.
That way when you do get offered an internship with a major company, you won't have to turn it down because you need to work 20 hours a day to pay off your student loans!
Good luck
