> There's plenty of jobs available for digital artists

Jobs in the 3D/VFX business:

* Are contract only (edit: I should say.. the OPEN jobs are)

* Require moving between continents for projects.

* Require 80-100 hour weeks when employed (but with overtime pay!)

* "Funemployment" for 3-18 month stretches

Follow @DrScottRoss and @VFXSoldier if you want to read up more on that business's total collapse in the US.

For 3D work like games and such, art pipelines are already scaled up in Poland, Ukraine, China, India, and more. There hasn't been significant growth for 3D art jobs in the US for a long time (since at least 2008).

> when vr comes around there will only be more

Why would 3D jobs come back into the US for VR? The same people doing game art overseas can do that work.
