I'm in the same boat except I do know how 3D model with 3D Max and I'm actually helping make an independent WW2 game but I just don't feel like I have enough knowledge to land a job at a game studio so I'm thinking of going back.

I've been inquiring about different schools in the Vancouver area and the one that I've been told to stay away from is the Art Institute of Vancouver. They don't require a portfolio which means they'll let in anyone in who is willing to fork over $40k and apparently AI has a terrible reputation in the game industry.
