For me it would be easier to self teach 3d/maya...etc than traditional art mainly because the 3d stuff is just a tool.
Yeah, but no but yeah but no....

My advice would be to at least find part time employment in anything at all so the bills can be paid - then plug away at your desired work

I got a job for you - low-poly modelling, texturing ...
if you are interested: get a picture of a house, build the house with a maximum of a 128-texture and post the link, or pm me the link.

i don't know if someone mentioned this already but school can only give you so much. some people think a diploma is all that needs to be presented, your school name has a very slim chance of overriding the quality of your work or experience, it is too competetive of a field. so practice, practice, practice. do personal projects, enter contests, heck, do collaborations. put your name out there. knowing how to draw( and being versitile won't hurt) innovation and skill are like a breath of fresh air. of course don't become totally anti-social trying to polish your skills, show your face around the sites' forums and galleries and/or (if you can) some events. ( gotta be a team player). hitting the net and updating on industry happenings can help.
i think the problem that people have is that sometimes they wait for college to give them the oppurtunity to seriously study 3D and then expect that when they graduate, they'll be able to give Square a run for their money. lol so sometimes they neglect customizing creation methods and don't venture too far outsid the box, resulting in their work getting lost among the masses. standing out isn't everything ( your work could suck so badly that they'll never forget you) be good at what you do and you will most likely get the job.
the CG that is sought after by the industry, alot of the times is not produced with only what college text books and labs can offer. and seeking tutorials for every>single>little operation that you want to do will help you learn but don't be surprised if the final product isn't very personalized or that you hardly have any personalized operations for creating YOUR look ( i think that possibility is often taken for granted)
when its all said and done your work speaks for itself. become as good as humanly possible.
