ijyt posted:Is there any advice for someone in their late 20s that took far too long to realise what they want to do in life and now have to try and self study art while working? I know a guy in his late 40's that just started in the animation industry after a career in the marines. You aren't too old. He actually had an advantage when he started because his seemingly unrelated work experience made him easier to work with than some of these younguns who never had a real job before and have no idea how to act in a professional environment. My advice is to stay positive, do the art you want to get hired for making, and put yourself out there.

If you are interested in animation you should try making some animation to submit to loopdeloop. There's a bunch of goons over in the animation mega thread who have done them. You can participate no matter your skill level. There are some crazy good ones, but there are plenty that are a lot more basic. You won't know if animation is what you want to do until you do some anyway.

In my career (I work in animation at places like Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon) it always comes down to who you know, your portfolio, and how you test. They post jobs but they are usually filled by someone suggested by the recruiter, or someone people on the team have worked with before. I don't know if it works that way elsewhere, but if companies have recruiters make sure they see your portfolio. They will shop you around if they think you are good.
