In some creative fields you can just jump straight into doing it.

For example, if your creative aspirations lie in youtube, or twitch, or instagram, or tiktok - mostly they just start doing it, self-educating about things like lighting and lenses.

I think people going to college for filmmaking is different from being a streamer.

Ah, but you didn't say film makers - you said "people attempting to make a go of it at creative arts" which includes a great many streamers, youtubers and suchlike.
