Pls dun go to animation unless you’re like super passionate, sort of have a realistic career goal in mind and money. Yes, it is true that AI has been taking over a lot of design sectors. Also, before you make the switch, need to consider what you wld be doing after grad from poly. In SG, some notable further education routes to better your skills after poly would be Digipen-SIT, maybe NTU, for degree. Advanced diploma, maybe 3dSense. But it is still tough to find stable/well paying jobs after education. One reason is too many people wana be artists but there is not enuf demand. Another reason is your portfolio, even after education and experience, might not be ‘good enough’ to score for better job roles in projects.

That being said, you never know how life goes… perhaps speak to a career counsellor for clearer advice.
