I agree for the most part, but I don’t think many of these creative endeavors are helped by college (and the costs/debt it brings). In fact, there is a counter argument that perhaps there would be more successful creatives if we did not push everyone to go to college and take on lots of debt; they would have more time, energy, and money that they could more directly apply towards the pursuit of those creative dreams

by what mechanism can they directly apply towards the pursuit

  In some creative fields you can just jump straight into doing it. For example, if your creative aspirations lie in youtube, or twitch, or instagram, or tiktok - mostly they just start doing it, self-educating about things like lighting and lenses.

    I think people going to college for filmmaking is different from being a streamer.

      Ah, but you didn't say film makers - you said "people attempting to make a go of it at creative arts" which includes a great many streamers, youtubers and suchlike.
