Hasta La Motion!

I wanna know around how much a visual effects animator makes in LA.. (.. just like an average estimate i guess). The reason i ask is cuz im 20 and planning to take a 3 yr course at Gnomon that is gonna cost around 65,000… I wanna know if i should even do this. Like, if i did, would it take like my whole life to pay off the loan ill probably take out, you know? or if its worth it for the sake of education in the end. any thoughts? thanks!

(this is more about the money side of things. I pretty much know about evry school there is at this point but they’re all effin pricey.)
