Guys, I'm in an internal crisis right now.
I'm still in high-school, but I'm close to graduating, and I'm not sure how to proceed. I want to go to college and get a Sound Design degree while making and improving my music but I have a few issues…
My music isn't all that good right now, and I'm not sure if I'll ever get that good. I'm not sure how useful a Sound Design/Sound Engineering degree is.
I'm really unsure of where to go from here, and I this is my future I gotta think of. Any advice would be appreciated.

Listen to a lot of music, and really define your style.
After this, there's one thing you need to accept: you won't make any money for a very long time, and you need to internalize that. Get a day job, get the cheapest apartment you can, minimize your expenses, and save as much money as you can. Make it a personal initiative to save money.
Choose your DAW of choice, and dick around with it. You'll figure it out eventually, and if you ever need any help, there's infinite information for each DAW online. Try making covers in your style to start with, to get used to the idea.
Market your music and work either to make it as an indie artist, or get signed to a label, depending on your preference.
