No from careful observation of some contacts I know who do animation / went into it or are still in it. I am quite fortunate to say that I have steered clear of this disaster zone.

Had a choice to study DMD, TP or something else when I was a young and impresionable kido, thankfuly I stuck to my guns and didnt get swayed by any media hype etc etc etc ...

I work in media but am an account director. I handle projects and essentially plan campaigns for clients the pay is decent around 5-7k per month but the stress is insane, but it is definetly better than if I had gone down the f**ED IMD route....heng sia...

but now I am thinking of doing something else with more work life balance as I am in my late twneties liaozz..hehe
