Yeah, that's my plan. I turned in 7 applications just the day before I made this topic.
Some of the wildlife stuff does require a degree, some doesn't. I think I could do okay with getting a 4 year degree, the problem is being able to keep a full-time job. My anxiety and shit is so bad that I'm probably going to need social security like my uncle does, at least for a while. I think someday I can get better and accomplish more, but it's still a while a ways and I need to be patient with myself or else I'll fall back into a pretty bad place.
In the mean time I will get a part time job where I can and see how it goes. I'm hopeful it will go well.
Honestly, my actual goal is to go to use my artistic skill to go to school for animation. I have so many stories that I would love to animate and publish. It's my dream. I'm going to start making comics in a year or two just on like DeviantArt or some shit. Probably do a bunch of pages but never upload them till I get the confidence :p
Anyway, that's what I always saw myself becoming, even as a little kid. It's like a calling...
You could attempt doing both if you want. At least the schooling part unless money is an issue.
I have no artistic skills whatsoever. Any of my "art" wasn't real attempts though.
