Don't feed the troll.
Whoops, forgot to take my own advice.
Anyways, just to add another point I think is important - make sure whatever route you go, write a plan at least 6 months (or 1-2 semesters) in advance. You should know what you're doing from today until August, and by then you should know what you're doing until this time next year. If you're being autodidactic, write out your own learning objectives and break them down into a personal syllabus. If you're attending one of the EDM schools or some sort of music production/engineering program or major, try to get your entire degree planned out before your second semester's over and just update/change it as you go along.
I know my answers are really not giving a specific route, but I think that's something you should discover for yourself and not try to take people's opinions as dogma (even mine!). I had a bunch of friends tell me not to go to school for music production if I wanted to be a DJ, but since I decided to check out my school's music program anyways I found another career path that I hadn't even considered before. At the same time, there have been kids in my classes who definitely should not have come to the school.
It's all gonna be about what you think you need, and how you think you can best get it. Do a lot of research on both sides, and see what happens!
