Went to art school and majored in Animation with a minor in studio art. Decided animation was bull**** after hearing some real life starting salaries, switched to a full general design degree.

After I got outta school got a job doing 3D work (mostly shader programing, and a bit of dynamics) and did some architecture visualization on the side. Did this for a bit then got tired of getting paid **** and working 30 hours a week of overtime and not getting paid for it.

Now I'm in Marketing at an investment banking firm making twice as much money, working 1/2 as hard, and in much better physical shape (lol) as I was in the VFX industry. Sweet gig.
