Life : Overwhelmed and so Over it.

Today I made an account on Linked In because I need a job and I was curious if there would be any animation internships on there that I could look at.
What I found, was WAY more than I bargained for.

Here I am, naïvely answering questions about myself, impatient because I just want to see what kind of jobs there are, and people watching in the halls at school.  Finally, after realizing that I couldn't answer any more questions, I finally got to look.

And I almost cried.

Every job on there for animation says "Must have 5 to 7 year of experience", "Must have pervious experience as an animator, supervisor, or director", "must have a BFA" etc.
My heart literally sank.
I thought, "there's no freaking way I'm ever going to get into animation. Why am I wasting my time here???" I just don't feel like I'll ever get to that level of expertise; I'll probably be stuck here drawing the same thing over and over again for the rest of my life!

But, after a long consoling talk with my Father, I realized something.

I may not have enough experience now, but someday I will.

I'll get there eventually. But that's another level in the game.

I have to learn how to play the game first.
