My boyfriend is getting a Bachelors degree in Graphic Design come May. It's a competitive program here, anybody can get an Associates degree but to go into the Bachelor's program you need to pass a portfolio review. I know a lot of people that didn't make it and either have to retake their second year or do something else. I'm not sure if it's a competitive program like that everywhere, just something to keep in mind.

I too am worried about the demand for his type of work, but he enjoys it. However, keeping in touch with past graduates it seems as if 90% of them have been able to find a job in the field. You just have to know where to look and be willing to relocate if necessary.
