Re: Should I change careers to 3D animation?

Good advice, I thought that remaining a generalist would be better to get different jobs if needed. Meaning if I specialized in only one aspect like becoming strictly a texture artist or a rigger, that I would only be able to get jobs doing those things instead of being able to jump from a job as a rigger, to a job as a modeller, etc. I have been told that if you get on with an effects house for a contract say for 6 months or so to do one project, that you get laid off after that project but after the house secures another one, you are likely to be rehired for that project if you did a good job on the previous. Or go to another place to secure a job in their project. I understand that it is competitive but alot of people are making it seem impossible.
