Question
Hi russell,
I did my masters in computer science and currently working as a java developer in mastercard. But i totally love animation. This is the field where i want to pursue my career. Can you tell me how to start? I can learn 3ds max, maya, aftereffects all by myself. But is it too late for me? Are there any agencies or consultancies that take you in and market you? I need to make a decision and make it real fast. So i'm totally depending on your response.
Hi Raj,
You have a masters degree. You should be able to get a pretty good job with that.
In animation right now, there are too many people who want to do it and not enough jobs to go around. I don't recommend getting into animation as an occupation right now.
