Depends on your finances. If you take out loans then it isn’t worth it, but if you can pay for it upfront then it might be interesting. However, you will learn a lot by buying equiptment then using it to see what works thru trial and error. You should seek out people whose work you like and do whatever work they will let you so as to soak up knowledge from people that make moves. Check out iTunes U for free lectures on film/video. Good luck
