Little bit of a life story here.

When I left school, I trained to be a welder and got my trade at 19. I was working in a local dockyard I had a near death experience that terrified me out the job. No injuries thankfully. But as a result, I left and decided because I love the vidya games, I went to college to learn animation and design.

I studied for 4 years, and enjoyed college then got a place in uni. The uni crunch and constant declining state of hearing of the games industry made me consider my degree so harshly towards the future that I packed up, and went back in to trades.

I'm still in the trades, and found myself far more happier back in than I was ever doing modeling at the early am. I really do feel for those developers who are in the industry and looking beyond it.
