VFX is a specialized subject of study. It is just not about learning computer software as certain students think. As VFX is linked with Film making, cinematography, photography, storytelling, direction, working on VFX software, having a good knowledge about CG etc., an Under Graduate Degree is a must if one is serious about making big in the VFX industry.
