Hey guys, Thanx for taking the time to write all this, im sure it'll be a great thread, theres loads of people who are in my position. either leaving schooling or "Re-trading" Im quite lucky with the RAF on how they throw money at you to educate yourself while your employed and when you leave they "re-settle" you with a grant to find the area of employment of your choice, I will also get £8G as i leave, Any suggestions on how to spend some of it (on courses etc) (not in the Spearmint Rhino) that will benefit me in areas of employment -By that i mean are there holes in the CG Employment Market for modelers, animators - that type of thing, (not bothered which country) And would anyone care to divulge their income or estimate a wage for specific areas, just a ball park figure, and i am taking entryish level. I can hear you all now "mumble mumble - not saying" I do love CG - AND money shouldn't be a real issue - but i still have to feed the "three little bears" and need to clear £25k ish CHEERS GUYS lots'o questions - sorry
