I feel like repeating what I said before.

Don’t just “assume” that you are not good enough for a graduate program. What if you are wrong? I would suggest that you actively research graduate programs to find out what their requirements are. You may already have the requirements you need. They may not require any sort of “foundation”–but it sounds like you already have a “foundation” in that you already know how to make costumes!!! Or maybe you will find you almost meet the requirements, and then there is just some simple thing you can do to add the missing requirement. You won’t know until you look into it, and you really shouldn’t “assume”.

The same with finding your dream job as a costumer in film. Don’t just “assume” you know what the requirements would be, and so on. Contact people who already have your dream job, and see what they did. There may be an easy way for you to enter the field that you won’t know about until you ask. If you can start work in the field you want, then you won’t have to worry about those student loans.
