Nobody will ever hire you for either directing, seriously.

Those are the two rarest jobs in the whole of industry and nobody I've never met has ever gone into it directing out of school. You basically work your way up to some sort of supervisor position like this guy did then convince somebody to trust an entire multimillion dollar film production to you. Even then, you'll be doing commercials to build up a professional reel before jumping straight into it.

The only exception I've ever met was Shane Acker, director of 9. Even then he worked on Lord of the Rings and Guild Wars and spent 10 years of his life making a single magnificent animation by himself, receiving two MFA degrees. Then he went to Siggraph, won first place in the fucking world for best animated short. Got LUCKY on top of this, convinced Tim Burton to support him, and only THEN did he direct a movie.

So yeah, good luck.
