Ok guys need to add in my views too.
Butt your very approach is wrong.
Always do soemthing which you like to do.
If you like creating stuff , then “only” then join this field and not to earn money.
If you like to be a millionare then join a stock company or become a manager or something else.
or else you will find yourself jumping from one job to another in life.
I came into this line because of Games. I am hardcore gamer and can spend hours playing strategy games and multiplayers like halo.
These games inspired me to learn 3d art. in India there are still no institutes to teach proper gaming, even no one teaches softwares like Zbrush. So I decided to study it all by myself through these forums.
Because I am passionate about creating things, but that doesnt feed my family.
So I keep doing some outsourcing work to keep myself running.
Family responsibilities are very differnt in India then in the west.
I have to take care of not only my career but also my family and parents who depend on me.So if any of project fails it will not only effect me but also my family.
I will be creating a game soon, if that game works I might becaome a millionare, if not, my time and energy will be wasted , and that wont stop me from pursuing my dreams to create another game but I will make a mark in the industry and in any field what matters the most is the experience you have
The fun is not in getting the end result or money the fun is in creating the game under strenous circumstances.
regarding money, the more rich you are the more unhappy you will be.
I dont give importance to money, just till the point where money helps me to survive and pursue my dreams.
Money makes your life comfortable by proviidng you luxuires ,which in return makes a person lazy or careless, or maybe too stressed to get more money. Its like a slow posion.
Regarding animation works, well if you have creativity and luck who knows you might be working in next hollywood blockbuster.
In todays world nothing is concrete or permanent. keep watching your cosuins and friends closely they might be earning a lot now but what happens to them 5 yrs down the line ? Goa nd talk to them, ask them why they chose the respective careers just ebcause they want to earn money or ebcause they like doing the work.
Follow your passion and not money and you will reach soemwhere in life.
DO not judge people and take a decision
Everyone of us are different having differnt destiny and faith, you will find many people working in same field, later earning more then the first.
that doesnt mean theres soemthing wrong with the field itself. It depends on person to person.
Animation, medical science and business management are three different roads first test yourself you are good in which of these and follow what your heart tells you to follow.
