HEy everybody! I have been offered a position for a company as an animator/sales engineer, but the kicker is, is that they are going to send me to Australia for 2 years for schooling and training where their corporate office is loacted, with housing paid for and a company car. user added image

I am thinking about it, they need to have an answer by January, thought that I would ask for your advice. After the two years in Australia, I have to have at least one aditional year with the company in the States. Its not fun movie animation or FX, its just animation for an engineering company taylored to specific projects. Thanks,
Brian

Paid housing and a company car.

Do it.

If for no other reason than to buy more time to fine tune your skills while they flip the bill.

and brian, be sure you dont sell yourself too cheap, dont underevaluate your skills. and money cannot make you happy if the job sucks ...

Looks like an opportunity! (of course) If I were you I'd start asking myself what I would want to expect out of this. And secondly ask the employer-to-be some questions. The answers may not be that accurate, but I guess it will give some indication of what to expect of the job. I'd ask about the level of commitment "required" and ask what this company expect out of YOU.

But then again I have no experience in this kind of job, I have only worked with accounting.

if you use Brian_ellebracht it might not work as your account is brian_ellebracht - maybe it makes use of capital letters. you should try to delete all cookies, as you can set it up so that you dont need to type your password if it is your own computer using cookies.

hope that helps
