Just keep your options open, I know many people who went into art school and later regretted that it was an ALL art school and did not have any other subjects. If you are passionate about graphic design, then take it, but in your OP you sound skeptical. Like Gigi said, Graphic Design is something that dosent require a really high level of education. There are 16 year olds making advertisements and identities on this site and all they use are online tutorials. Graphic Design is a compemtetative field because younger generations will develop new ideas and the younger generations will always be more creative then lets say a 40 year old graphic designer, yes, it is all about exposure, but when your older you tend to stay conservative. I would recommend, if you want graphic design, then double major, have a backup in case and dont go to an ALL art school Keep your options open :]
