Film Studies - Passion - Need help

[krivivek]

Hi,

 

I am currently working as a Software Engineer with an I.T organization in Atlanta. I am from India and my passion has always been films. Though I hear a lot of quotes about going to school is not essential for filmmaking, I wanted to pursue that as I feel it will give me confidence to pursue this passion. But I have some financial commitments and I am the breadwinner of the family ( I am married and my wife is a homemaker). It will be extremely difficult to manage to quit work and go to school. 

I was told that a lot of people go to school part-time and still manage to stay employed. Can anyone please suggest a way we can do that and if any schools allow part-time courses (evening colleges maybe)? Your suggestions will be a big help. Thanks in advance.
