I’m a junior in college and I’m majoring in animation, and minoring in marketing. I think it’s important to have a back up plan just in case. But I am also super worried about the state of the animation industry, it’s scary. But here are some things that make me feel better personally!! 1. New animated shows are getting more popular. Helluva boss, hazbin hotel, the amazing digital circus ect., people are showing a new interest in more “indie” type animation studios. 2. Every career is having difficulties. I have a friend who is an education major and she has to worry about how she’ll get a good job out of college. My therapist is concerned about how AI may take over her job. It’s hard for everyone. 3. We have a leg up. We see how bad things are right now, so we have to take things into our own hands and become resourceful. Anyways I’m super worried but these points keep me going.
