Depends on what you do to get further up the education ladder, your probably best off looking into that as what you learn as you go to uni will probably shape you in what you really want to do, modeler, texture artist, lighting tech, rigger, TD, programmer etc etc etc.

One thing I would say is keep it broard a the moment, but look to see what you need to get jobs (have a look on the Cgs jobs section to see requirements, and then as you find your footing in 3d a bit more go for the skilset that will help you in the future, its always worth noting that whatever you do in 3d, programming seems to help!
