Well, there's two good helpful tips I can give you. One, school isn't really important in this industry. Experience will get you more money and the job you want, not a film school or editing school. Sure, it might be helpful some day down the line, but honestly most people in the film/tv industry never went to any kind of special art/film/media school. Also, be prepared to start at the bottom. You aren't going to be able to get a job editing without paying your dues. Expect to start in a vault or shipping department and then work your way up to a better career (tape op/tc and edit assist/colorist, edito, sound....you get the idea). I suggest just throwing your resume out everywhere and start applying at every post-house there is where you live.
But if I read you correctly, you want to have your movie made or edited. Now this area actually pays to have schooling usually. Call around, find out how much all the post houses will charge for a bay per hour. Most of the smaller ones will offer a better price and are easier to get a an actual bay to be able to work in.
Take in mind, no matter what you do, it's a hard business to succeed in and the schedule and hours can be ridiculous sometimes (I've worked 80 hours in 5 days before), but it's also fun and interesting! Good luck!!
