Question
are the jobs after animation course is guaranteed?


Answer
Hey Sibram,

There are only 2 things in life that are guaranteed...that you will pay taxes, and that you will die...

There are no guarantees in ANY field of work that you will have a position once you complete course work. The only thing that your education is for is to give you the tools to go out and get a job.  Selling yourself, your skills and abilities, and your creativity are all up to you and the work that you do, and what all you bring to the table for a company to want to hire you.

Sorry, but there are no handouts like that in life, unless of course if your father happened to own the company...

Cheers,
Andre
