LEAVE VFX?

It doesn't matter that they aren't happening to me. I see them happening though, and to not give voice to the voiceless when I am afforded the opportunity to do so would be irresponsible on my part.

You should always vote to help the people who aren't doing as well as you. This will make your life better as well, not just theirs. I agree with David on this one.

I have lost that cushy job and had to reinvent myself. Its a really scary process. I am now, I feel in a better place than I was 8 years ago. I am glad that PT closed. I am a better compositor because of it.

I still think that telling people just getting started to "get out while you can" is not the right thing to be saying. Giving them facts and things to watch out for is good but no need to run them into the hills.

Far to many people travel the road in life hating their jobs. This is always sad.
