I got a job as a artist working at a few different game companies then went to work on a movie for disney. i turned into a programmer about three years ago.
making games was more fun than making movies, by far.
Each new job position has been through referral by peers. been at this since atari in `93, I've never been asked about a college degree once.
got a house, a cool little machine shop, 3d printer, in san francisco... not bad, not bad at all.
The idiot problem is with how fonts are still scaled with pixels. I hate seeing aliasing in my 3d apps, if the resolution was high enough that when anti-aliasing is turned on the edges of my meshes shouldnt look thick.
I want real hair line edges as it is with most modern anti-aliasing systems you end up with lines that can be three pixels thick (sort of) and that's just ugly.
At 300pixels per inch that problem would be eliminated and still result in a clean hair line edge (awesome)...
I wish i could say we used ubuntu, but that's just on my personal laptop... :-\
