3D-artist - is it a good job?

Hi, I'm 15 years old, and I think sometimes of my futur occupation. How good is a 3D-artist's job? Do they get much money? What is your opinion?

it also depends who u work for and how long/much experiece u have

the more experience is better as u can aim for jobs like TD's and earn different amount of money


Now at SMU doing BSc 3D Computer Animation so its hard to get on here

Also depends on how expensive your future wife is user added image

From what I hear of the games industry at least, it sounds like a pretty good job. You have to work hard and put in a lot of hours when needed, as with many other roles... but if you enjoy what you do, thats the main thing - most people hate their jobs and i refuse to be one of them.

yeah you definitely have to work your way "up" so to speak. When I first started out, I didn't get a ton of money. 4 years later though, I'm doing alright.

I also think it's very important to have fun at work, 3D-stuff is fun.
So I think it is a good job user added image
