Maybe investing in my own gear would be better and offering something that the studio needs in exchange would be helpful.
Yes?
Well, not necessarily. I was just saying that when it comes to finding an INTERNSHIP, formal education won't do much to help you. However, having a formal education can be a tremendous help. A professional teaching a class can offer you ideas and ways of thinking that you would be hard pressed to find in a YouTube tutorial. I almost decided not to pursue a formal education but chose to anyways, and I do not regret it a bit.
