Comments on a career in animation

I just started working as an assistant storyboard artist on the PJ's at Will
Vinton Studios. Although I went to college, I made the mistake of going
through every program BUT those pertaining to animation (as I was an aimless
moron at the time), but that didn't stop me from getting my foot in the door
later down the road.
I'd say, if rejection doesn't bother you, than just send some of the studios
your artwork now. Figure out what kind of position you're going for, make a
portfolio, and send it around. Go for something small, and work your way up.
I started only TWO MONTHS ago as an assistant storyboard artist, but I've
already been presented with opportunities for computer animator, character
designer, lead storyboard artist, and even a writing position.
The field of animation is fairly small, and once you get in, it's not too
hard to work your way up the ladder. Before going to school, which can be
both costly and time consuming, try getting in without it. You may need it,
and you may not. If you try, you'll know for sure.
