Do you consider your job well paid for the labor you put into it, is it worthwhile.
Y/N
Any hesitations made will be counted as N.

sometimes yes sometimes no. complicated answer because i am a freelancer. some of the jobs i do pay well, others don't. the ones that don't pay well i pick because i want to be a part of them and i don't care that they don't pay well. the others i pick because i have to pay bills, rent, etc. they aren't as fun but they're easier to do.

but i draw in cad and cad designers are actually in demand so they get decent wages

this is a myth
while there are plenty of artists who work for chump change and are naive or desperate enough to work for it, this can happen in any creative industry. plenty of studios and contracts pay artists a very comfortable living, and my wife and i are two of those people
good art and animation is not cheap!
Google says you are not married otherwise it would be a thread.

Thanks for the posts so far, it brought me many thoughts, honestly.
a search engine mentions nothing about your relationship with your spouse and therefore your marriage is entirely fictional

What does this have to do with my question, my question was why there wasn't a huge thread on it because it would be of interest to rtil fans and if it existed it would be on google. And Everything is on google don't be silly.
Back on topic:
Do you work in art? Do you think it is worthwhile? If not why not and do you wish you did?

Dear Blue anime man.
The link I posted explained the criteria.
The question can easily be inferred by it, because any contested information automatically demands a response
if he was married and posted about it before, it would be on google.
I also suggest not posting silly pictures.
loooooooooooooooooooooooooooool

I also wish to apologise to rtil too, I was not calling him a liar, but major absences like this in the Google database demand answers.
i am a private person, google can only tell you so much about me
His wife is 2D but his love for her is real.
Don't diss him for that, man! Only because society and google do not accept this relationship, it doesn't mean that it is less wonderful, precious or true than something that bigoted people like you consider normal.
JasonDog is a fucking mongo hahaha
a few people do work in art here yes

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.
