Virtual development at Ringling

Hello everyone. I hope you all are staying safe and doing well during these times
So i have been accepted into Ringling and I am so happy. I wanted to do either CA or Illustration, but I came across VD. I have been searching through the web and haven’t found any people who gave advice on this. So i wanted to know what it is like to learn VD, what are the outcomes, and mainly is it more risky than doing animation? VD is still new and I have read it is difficult to get a job unless you do an early internship. What is your opinion on this?
I also prefer to do a job which has art in it, but dont mind if it has programming.
Thank you
