Bah, leave me alone - it's 9am and I have college in an hour. I got home at 4am after a night out wandering the hills around my house drinking with some mates... I feel like monkey and spelling isn't my priority

Theres only one way to get a job in the CG field.

2 words-

HARD

WORK

generally its almost a requirement to be a good traditional illustrator/animator, as most of the basic rules of thumb are the same.

You will have to spend a good year obsessively learning your software of choice as well.

Most universities offer decent courses, but you m ay be better advised going on a corporate-certified course as they tend to be better organised and funded.

Do some research, if ya think yer good enough, punk!

.

ok..jk.

If its a field you're really interested in, you'll find a way to get into it.

------------------
have you ANY idea of how much trouble you're in?
assault on a police officer.
Theft of police property.
Illegal possesion of a firearm.
FIVE counts of attempted murder.
That comes to...

twenty-nine dollars and 14 cents.
cash, cheque or credit card?

You should really apply for a job at a gaming company! Where do you live?  

East coast of the US right now. The company that runs Anarchy Online (and did the Longest Journey *sniff* *bliss* has a tech office up the road here. Redhat (the Linux OS vendor) is around the corner too. Its a tech region really, but not much in the way of game companies.

This will, however, change in a couple of years. My wife and I will be moving back to Adelaide, or perhaps even Sydney (but only for a little while).

Sorry about that. My webserver is hosted at three desks over from mine where I work (there are advantages to working for a hosting company. Dedicated servers rock). We were having some serious issues with our internal network today because one of the network admins put a test router on the live network. Now all the internal routers have crazy routing tables, and their arp caches are completely nuts.
