There was an issue of 3Dworld magazine a month or so go that had a big article on choosing the right school fo 3D. I keep looking at NYU for their certification class but always have to take that step back and wonder if I'd be in the same sketchy situation as I have been with web design in the past....volatile job market. I can see it already...spend $10k or more to get a certificate, then find little or no jobs....or find one that pays less than what I'm making as a web designer. I'm no fool; I realize there are teenagers that can blow me away in the 3D area skillwise. On the other hand, life's all about taking risks so sometimes maybe you just have to go for it.

Eh, sorry...just thinking out loud.
