There's no guarantee that your college debt will be poofed away by the government until it actually happens, so until that point you need to think about it in the context of having that debt.

You need to decide what's more important to you, making sure you have a place to live, or getting a second degree.

You could always get a job and make sure you have a place to live and then take filmmaking classes parttime.

It would be my first degree. And true. I'm thinking of getting a job while in college as a compromise, as I'd rather not put off getting my degree any longer.

You said you're finishing up your bachelor's degree right now, and are considering pursuing a filmmaking degree. That would make the filmmaking degree your second degree, unless you plan to abandon the one you're currently working on entirely.

Perhaps I should've been more clear, my bad. I meant I am finishing up my bachelor's degree in film that I've been pursuing for several years now on and off. I am planning to transfer from community college.

... community college gives an associate degree. Are you currently working on an associate degree or a bachelor degree?

Either way, going for filmmaking will be a second degree.
