UIC or CCC

Hi, I’m currently about to graduate high school and I have not committed to a college yet. My two options are Columbia College Chicago and University of Illinois Chicago.

At columbia I would go into fashion studies (BA), with a focus on product development. For some backstory, fashion and clothing is my passion and biggest interest in life. I run a small clothing business already and it’s my dream to make a living in the industry. Cost is about 19k per year after my scholarships and aid. Columbia definitely felt the best for me but I don’t know anyone who’s been to art school and I don’t know if it’s a waste of money.

At UIC I would study marketing or graphic design. I really am passionate about business as well, but I also want to pursue something creative. Still, I don’t know if these majors are a waste either, so I’m interested in any related programs at UIC that would be worth the investment. It would cost about 21k per year.

Is my dream a bad idea? Is an art degree a waste of money? Do any of my plans end up with me having a decent job?
