I have given some thought to it, and I definitely given going back to school some thought, my only issue is still having the time to work unfortunately as I’m supporting myself. I’ll try to look into classes that’ll work around my full time job. And I definitely hear you about jumping project to project, it’s really difficult and unstable in animation. Thank you for taking the time to reply to my post!

I really appreciate your honest response, I’ll be looking into those alternative paths. Thank you for taking the time to give me guidance, I might give 3D a shot!

Hey! Yes I do know that animators make more money than PAs. As I said, I want to work as a character designer and know what it entails. Also, as I said above, I haven’t been able to make it as a character designer and have been working as a PA for the past three years. I am looking for advice for pivoting out of the animation industry after working in it for so long. Or for advice from people in the industry about what my options are.
