If you can get a part time job or something then be sure to do that because then you can keep going under your own steam, 3D modelling is a very specialised field and I'm gonna be honest with you I've tried going down the route of getting a job at games company and you need to be really skilled at 3D modelling to even get noticed. That means, big portfolios with really good stuff in it that's very detailed and of course if you've been learning modelling you unfortunately need to know about keeping polycount and trigonometry.

It all depends on what you want to do with it.
