I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Computer Animation- I graduated a year ago and I live in South Florida. In my own experience, unless you are willing to move to an area where the 3D industry is booming...I wouldn't bother. The program I was in was heavy in Maya and Shake. I learned quite a bit about character animation, rigging and lots of video techniques like tracking, compositing, etc. If it weren't for the fact that as a fine art student I had to learn all mediums....my degree would be pratically useless. I would stick with video or straight 2D motion graphics...there is more work there. The 3D industry has it's own niche.
