Hi!. I don't know too much about the current state of LAMDA, other than that it is, of course, one of the long established drama schools but I feel I should address the final part of your question!.
Of course the studies can lead to a career, but there's no guarantees!. I'm afraid the brutal truth of the matter is that acting has a constant unemployment rate of 85-90% and the rate of people dropping out is very high!. The highs can be very high and it makes people stick in there no matter what!. but the lows can be very low and long bouts of unemployment can be difficult to take!.
I know this makes pretty grim reading and you probably won't thank me, but everyone who contemplates a career as an actor should know this!. If you then make an informed decision to go ahead with it all, then I wish you well!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
