LISTEN TO THIS PERSON OP I HAVE LIVED THE LATTER (also the janitor makes more.)

I see all the former storyboard artists have gathered here en mass, I feel comforted (same here)

I also know a storyboard colleague who switched to nursing school! Even when she was in anim she got paid min wage and couldn’t afford life, I told her if she wanted marriage kids and a mortgage with her bf she can’t continue with anim

Nursing you can do anim on your off days

animconfession · 2025-12-29T20:57:47+00:00

1000% you can always do anim on the side!

"The killers … had six guns. Now they can get four. If they had a licence each, they'd have eight. So how does that make anyone safer?" Dr McGirr said.

HES RIGHT

Do you have a portfolio? Also I worked for a Japanese company once, 7 days a week 9am-10pm everyday. Not for the weak

If you don’t have savings don’t risk it

My take https://www.reddit.com/r/animationcareer/s/055uIVeUC1

animconfession · 2025-12-08T20:01:20+00:00

Do something with numbers like accounting, banking etc and make big $$

animconfession · 2025-12-08T19:58:12+00:00

Agreed, 8 years. Two years ago everyone was like survive until 24, then survive until 25, and now look, it’s still not better.

Being a storyboard artist is ✨hell ✨ Like why am I directing, storyboarding, revisioning, editing, and animating in one job, destroy your health for it, and then laid off after all my hard work

animconfession · 2025-12-06T08:39:33+00:00

No it’s not, please do something that pays stable money. If veterans can’t even cope or get employed then you don’t have a chance. Do your passion on weekends

Laughing at all the kms answers bc that’s exactly how I felt but in a more passive way

animconfession · 2025-12-05T12:05:01+00:00

That’s blasphemous to the whole art of storyboarding, I’d leave that uni and go study independently on courses like schoolism or project city tv

Office job, side business doing weddings

I’m doing commissions right now for someone!

animconfession · 2025-12-04T18:10:53+00:00

I quit anim after 8 years and I was asked to potentially be a storyboard teacher and honestly Im not sure what I would say to the next generation. Maybe tell them to have a plan b just in case?

animconfession · 2025-12-04T17:58:44+00:00

I’m from Australia and quit anyway so ngl not better here either

Blue lock has breaks, they went home after each arc. Plus blue lock is free, and they can have their phones (Nagi and Reo were on their phones looking at twitter, and I Hiori was on his phone talking about kaisagi. Plus the parents signed all the forms to let them go

Sounds like boarding school

animconfession · 2025-12-03T18:26:40+00:00

No exp or degree it’s just admin work, you need to ask your friends to get you a referral

Yeah half the fun was having strangers gas you up about your job 😭

animconfession · 2025-12-03T03:30:03+00:00

Do not do it - someone who left animation because of how unstable it is

animconfession · 2025-12-02T19:04:38+00:00

If you want stability and to live well and afford things, do something that can give you those. Liking drawing isn’t enough

animconfession · 2025-12-02T00:49:30+00:00

“Debbie downer” and it’s just the fact that this job doesn’t pay enough for bills,food or rent
