What are some decent, compatible careers for someone who wanted to make it in art/animation but knows that isn't a possibility?
Been working in retail on and off for a decade and finally quit

Some sort of government or military job where you don't do anything but sit in an air conditioned office. Depending where you work it's not a bad go, at least army or Air Force side.

I'm not a burger but I imagine it's a lot shittier in burgerland due to their training system. They tend to beast the shit out of their troops for about 5 years before giving them slack. EU land isn't bad despite a literal war right here.

Maybe try some bullshit municipal job where you buy topsoil and shit for the town. mediocre wage but lots of time. Fed is okay too but risks cuts if your country is rebalancing economics

ok

Don't fall for military con. I'm not even a burger I'm a fucking leaf and I would never. No job is that easy. The fact that their ads make the job seem like a cakewalk, "oh just stand around for a few hours then take 2 weeks off paid $40/hr" should be a red flag. They will probably force you to move across the country or worse, draft your ass then you have to get your legs blown off for Israel.

Also those "air conditioned desk jobs" are only for the lucky few, primarily nepos and career personnel. No way in fuck are you walking into the military and getting that job on day one, let alone year one or decade one

It's actually pretty easy to get a cushy military job. Just don't be a dumbass and you'll have free pickings.

>bro the military heckin rocks! trust me bro no fighting no guns just sit at a job messing around! join today!
go back to shilling on /pol/ goldstein

>>7687826
You can do whatever you want, I was just giving my real insight to the guy literally saying he has no military experience but knows they will probably make you do this and maybe make you do that.

Retards like him probably choose a combat MOS come draft time kek.

Nsfw animations are a gold mine. You don't even need to be amazing at it.

Web animations maybe? Since flash died, really animated and interactive websites died along with it, but now with animation programs such as rive or Figma animations.

It was also often suggested that illustration would become a lot more animated as we moved to digital, but I've never really seen all that much animation for digital mags or websites articles; I think it was just a pipe dream for some animators and illustrators.

If you're too far away from locations where animation studios are located, try going freelance. Smaller indie studios, particularly ones like (I'm seriously blanking on their names, so these are just guesses) Spindlehorse and Yadda, where they don't have enough people for practically any project they receive, so they contract per project.

Similarly, there's videogames, as they obviously need animators to make their animations, and while getting into a big studio may be unlikely, an indie studio would probably take a look at you at least.

the artist likes to do stupid shit to their mascot.

America had tons of spare land and not enough people, so much so, they even gave out land for free if you worked it.

i bet you if the african governments started handing out free land to western homesteaders, people would take it

don't get me wrong, zoomer generation sucks, but its not their fault they weren't allowed to say nigger in a call of duty lobby. Adults banned it from them, its not their fault.
