There is zero reason to dedicate this much time into something that will net you nothing. Everything in the 3D pipeline is going to be destroyed. The 3D industry has been decimated. You are competing with industry veterans for a small number of entry level positions.

>Hurr I do it as a hobby

In today's economic climate dedicating this much time to a hobby, a skill, is a detriment to yourself. If you're young your hobby shouldn't have to take hours of grinding that net you nothing when those hours could and should be used to make you more financially secure. Hobbies are a luxury that most people can no longer realistically afford. If you can't make money from your hobby you are hurting yourself. That's not a good thing but that's the world we are in, and trust me I'm not happy about it either.

YOU WILL NOT MAKE ANY MONEY DOING THIS, MOVE ON WITH YOUR LIFE!!! Go learn a trade.

If you think I'm wrong, go ahead and tell me how you can make this a job 2025+ . Go on, prove me wrong.

ok.

> Hobbies are a luxury that most people can no longer realistically afford.
I can.
> If you can't make money from your hobby you are hurting yourself.
I can get money from my job though.

Also this isn't 3dcg specific problem. A lot of jobs are hurting nowadays. Maybe even more will tomorrow.
If you can't make money today, you shouldn't consider it's a problem with yourself or your field.
It's just the world we live in, it's really shitty nowadays, it wasn't so bad even 10 years ago, but it sure started going downhill before that.

>>1010025
True, but that's all the more reason to focus on things that will get your financial security. Don't waste your time on 3D when it will not net you anything. Even if you have a job, if you have time for a hobby you should be utilizing that time to make more money instead of fucking around.

>hurr spend every second of your life dedicated to making money
Great recipe to depression. I live this life and I'd rather have less money with a higher social life and time for my hobbies which is 3D than constantly grinding the ass off thinking about money 24/7.

>>1010026
I actually dropped my job like a year ago. Why?
Because I have enough money and there is nothing I'd like to spend it on, except food, drinks, vidya, art and porn.
It's been a year and I still have a lot. I will get a job again when I need money, but currently it simply would be stupid thing to do.

>>1010029
And actually if you think more about my mindset, it's beneficial to humanity as a whole.
With current situation in the job market, me leaving my job means it's an open position for someone who actually needs it more than me.

>Great recipe for depression

You know what's even better than depression? Being poor. The reality is if you aren't going the extra mile you're going to have a hard time surviving now. You have to grind. Social life and hobbies are luxuries. And I don't think this is a good thing but it's our reality now. You're better off taking an extra shift at work than going out with friends, considering how expensive everything is now to do anything anyway.

You can say this is an unhealthy mindset, but it's actually society that's unhealthy and this is the result.

You just made this thread like 3 days ago. If you're so confident in your decision to give up I don't understand why you can't just do it quietly and not try to demoralize strangers

>>1010032
You live only once and wasting your prime 20s in my case on working 24/7 and sacrificing all of my free time being isolated from any personal aspiration is a niggercattle slave-tier life. This is not the meaning of life.

It will mentally detoriate you over time, then you'll lose it and lash out from the emptiness which simultaneously builds up resent and aggression within you. After years of careermaxxing, you turn into a sperg who is unable to form any human relationship because he never had anything going on.

Social life and hobbies are not a luxury. Chinese people are piss poor yet guys still go out to play basketball around the street corner or girls go out together to KTV.

>>1010035
You need to equally have an proper social life, personal hobbies which bring enjoyment and an girl around. Life must be balanced. If you neglect this, enjoy turning into incel sperg whose only purpose in life was to simply exist and cash in for the jew CEO boss' pockets.

Move to Nepal bro. I will join you when I will be able to leave my country. We can even live together if you're cute.
Nepal is actually just an example, there are other decent options. Maybe China, maybe Thailand, research a bit the current state of affairs.
>>1010036
3dcg can be a good personal hobby. Just don't sweatmax the "industry standards".

Based Nepalchuds unite! Imagine having all those beautiful architecture references in 5 minute walking distance from your 5$ / month condo. And they will never draft you for war because you're not even a citizen! Not that they will ever have a war during your lifetime anyway.

This is Nepal thread now. Just fucking look at those divine forms.

Dear Lord, forgive my boner.

The problem is you can't do this.

>If you don't have a hobby and social life it's bad for your health!

You're right, but that's not the point. If you don't grind you won't have financial security unless you are lucky. Hobbies are nice for the people who can afford them, but most can't. Not anymore. We no longer live in the world of extravagance that we had in the post WWII world. Things are only going to get worse.

>Well I don't want to grind

Too bad, if you don't you'll be fucked. You can no longer do the things you love. Learn a trade.

Oh lord we got ourselves a lil permadoomfag. How precious

Why do you have to speak for everyone and ignore simple advice like >>1010038

>>1010048
he's too busy getting high on his own farts

>>1010024
this. i dont get why we need a daily thread saying 3d is a waste of time. its my time to waste.

Ahh, yes, the normalization of feeding the machine till your death.

>how you can make this a job 2025+
I can and I have and it even generates passive livable income for me but you don't deserve an answer

>>1010324
The question isn't necessarily can but rather the sustainability. But that's been the "starving artist" reality for basically ever.

The age of human manufactured creativity is coming to an end. What remains are the peaks and valleys of those not unlike musicians.

>>1010046
>Things are only going to get worse.

Yeah, because I'm sure caveman had no time to paint pictures in their walls or anything. They could only hunt or die. You're not everyone in this board and you're just doing this to make people feel bad about themselves instead of providing genuine advice. I don't even know why I'm bothering with you considering how might as well be a chatbot some troll made to take a rise out of people.
