Based on what I've learned from studying this career, I've learned that this job may not be for me. This is because I have tried to animate a little myself... and it's pretty difficult and confusing, so more or less I've figured this is more of a dream job rather than something I'd want to do for the rest of my life. So in conclusion, this career is just to difficult for me, so I don't think I'll want to have this job in the future.
