A couple of month ago, I read an interview with Jonathan Privett (Head of 3D at Rushes).

The tenor of what he said was, that from his point of view, degrees are a MUST, and that even most artists WITH a degree are just not good enough.

To me it seems that they are looking for young, fresh graduates with 10+ years of industry experience who have mastered every existing major 3d package and like to work long hours for minimum wages.

Ok, maybe I'm a bit too harsh and it's not that bad, yet it's bad enough.

Well...
