This is a great thread, I don't know how I missed this either. I am not in the industry "YET" but I hope to one day. I'm currently taking some courses in Maya in the US for the summer, and then I'm heading back up to Canada when I'm finished.

It's great to hear from people who are working in a 3d related field. It always encourages and inspires me to work harder and to be patient. I would be interested though in seeing the reel's that got you your interview or "foot in the door".
