If I may offer some unsolicited advice: you'll generally find the most success as a freelancer, so study up on the aspects of freelancing (i.e. business). Uni generally won't offer much career prep other beyond a course on web site building (which you already got down). Marketing and networking are underrepresented the art school curriculum, but arguably the most important skills after graduation.

Also, the point of art openings is not the art on the walls, but to rub shoulders with other people.

Apologies if any of this was overly pedantic--I wish you the very best in your new endeavors!

@LiamHz: ^ This is really good advice. Already from your video it's obvious you can start doing freelance work right away. That's where the money is short term, and long term, as you grow your rep.
