Dear All-Mighty-CGI-Artist.

I am serious. You can post your Y/N vote to me.
I am Jason Dog.
It is other people that are silly.

It would help to get some perspective since most others here work in 2D animation.

Ah okay

To answer your question, I work at a video game studio in Boston (Turbine, part of WB Games):

Paid well: Not exactly, but only because Boston is the 4th most expensive city in the US to live in. I am paid well enough to have bought a new car last year when I got the job and to fuel my sushi and archery addictions

Worthwhile: Absolutely. It's a ton of hard work, but there's nothing like working side by side with other people who genuinely care about the quality of the game and put a lot of effort and love into their work.

That being said, getting a good job in the gaming industry is very hard-- I went through a year of hell working at a smaller studio (there for two years but it was that second year where things really became crazy) and there's a lot of competition to get the good jobs, but when you're in it's a blast (and since I work in VFX, it's literally a blast every day unless I'm setting something on fire).

Thanks.
