Education and Career Forum

I had taken Science stream for High School but, now I want to follow my passion which is Art. I have only given intermediate exams and have no advanced drawing skills. But, people say that my drawings are so creative and colorful that it hides away all the technical mistakes. I have since a kid always loved making comics. Please, tell me whether I should Join an art school and then apply for Animation or should I take animation course directly after 12th? Or, should I become an Illustrator, a comic artist? Which has a better scope between the two?
