3D-artist - is it a good job?
 

Hi, I'm 15 years old, and I think sometimes of my futur occupation. How good is a 3D-artist's job? Do they get much money? What is your opinion?

I like it and I can support myself and if need be, my future wife with it.

it also depends who u work for and how long/much experiece u have

the more experience is better as u can aim for jobs like TD's and earn different amount of money

Also depends on how expensive your future wife is :D

From what I hear of the games industry at least, it sounds like a pretty good job. You have to work hard and put in a lot of hours when needed, as with many other roles... but if you enjoy what you do, thats the main thing - most people hate their jobs and i refuse to be one of them.

yeah you definitely have to work your way "up" so to speak. When I first started out, I didn't get a ton of money. 4 years later though, I'm doing alright.

I also think it's very important to have fun at work, 3D-stuff is fun.
So I think it is a good job ;)
