It’s all personal preference. My mom being a graphic designer never went to school or got certified in adobe or anything but still made it in her job all the way up to a salary of 100k. If you think you may have a hard time promoting yourself to companies then you need to go through college and take the necessary courses but if you think you can make yourself marketable I would just say take the cert exams and work your way from there. College is too expensive to get little out of it

It’s all about how hard ya work. My dad has 0 certifications and never went to college and he makes 400k yearly. It’s not about the education it’s about your skill. Don’t stress, just be better then everyone
