[quote="Short Hand":945a4][quote="Jin-Roh":945a4]If I wanted to be a pharmacist, I'd be the best by reading A LOT about anything about every chemical in every medicine and stuff. That's a lot of reading if you think about it. oOo:

I might go into Military History, Graphic Communications (The stuff Tripper is doing?), or Game Design and change EA without them knowing, Trojan Horse style. cool:[/quote:945a4]

LOL, join the thousands of unemployed game designers out there... while your at it you can chat it up with all the unemployed webdesigners as well..... You have to be able to do a wide variety of things. not just specifics in the media world from what I am gathering.[/quote:945a4]

Where i work we are killing for web developers, but we aren't looking for web developers that know HTML and Photoshop. The web is changing and so is the technolgy. If you know ASP, SQL, Securities, javascript, flash, photoshop, and most importantly an imagination and good design you can land a decent paying job.

My buddy is a computer animation major and he was telling about the gaming industry. Basically you can't put all your eggs in one basket and expect to get in the gaming industry. Just like the porn industry, you have to do a lot shit you don't want to do before you get to your goal.

My mom's boyfriend is a pharmacist. He makes a good living...

coleman had it right, dont worry about the pay. Find something you like and do it. The rewrad of being happy will outweigh the fact you are making 10k less per year than if you had done something else. Also remember most of the stastics that say you can make UP TO this amount are talking about the people who are the best of the best at what they do and they definently earn that money.

This summer I could have easily got a job for $10-$12/hr and worked full time from june to august and made a couple thousand dollars. I also would have spent a lot on gas, and food, buying things etc. Instead I worked at a summer camp I got paid 3 times this summer totaling less than 2k but I have almsot all of it saved because I lived on site, they fed me, and I didnt have to worry about any costs. Ultimatly I think I left the summer with more money than if I worked a higher paying job. I also had the best summer of my life which I think is worth more to me than working inside an office and making "decent" money.

If you're refering to Graphic Communications when you say web designers - You're wrong.

Graphic communications only covers a very small aspect of web, and it's mainly the design stages and a bit of flash etc....The majority of Graphic Communications regards Print/Typography/Layout/Design and how they all work together.

I am not. Cuntwi. hake: I should have pointed out more specifics....... I knew you would get on your cunt train and choo choo this mother fucker up.

I guess I'll be joining the crowd of the unemployed 2d/3d animators

85-90K may not be 85-90K by the time you get done paying the malpractice or professional insurance probably required. In the Baltimore/Washington area, the premiums are so high that a lot of doctors have stopped practicing, especially OBs.

While you're still young, you should take some time to figure out what you want to do and leave money out of the equation. I wish I would have done something like graphic design and learned that kind of shit. Now, its too late because even if I did take those classes, I couldn't afford the step back in salary. As a result I'm a slave to the MAN.
