Why you shouldn't want a JOB in animation

   This article is mostly the personal experiences of Will Fin in his career as an animator. He starts out by stating you shouldn't want a job, because that is ruled by someone else and can be taken away, you should want a CAREER, something permanent, that you enjoy and are responsible for. He mainly talks through the rest about his various jobs, starting out working on parole for Disney (only to be fired after nine months) then moving on to Don Bluth studios, then onto Filmation, then BACK to Disney, then to Dreamworks and some freelance jobs on the side. He ends it by giving a couple bits of advice; never take a gig ffor granted and each job is not an end in and itself, its part of the bigger picture, a career.
    Let me just say that when i saw the title "Why you shouldn't want a job in animation" i said to myself "What.." Then after reading on i got it it was talking about changing the from wanting a JOB to a CAREER., then i said "oh..nice trick" I thought it was cool how he worked on Dragon's Lair...I enjoyed that game. He has had quite the career..lots of ups and downs... and many companies. Overall nice read, I liked that trick in the title.
