DJM PRODUCTIONS
Any kind of 3d graphics design, games movies, product visulation whatever as long as it's 3ds max đź‘Ť I could put up with maya too, but..it's just not the same.

You'd be amazed at how little the companies care about your skills with the 3d applications. I had the opportunity to meet with the heads of an animation studio in my town and they said that most companies train you to their software themselves. When they're hiring, all they look at is your traditional arts portfolio (drawing, painting, etc) and to make sure you have at least a little experience with 3d applications so they can train you. Experience is nice but they know that most beginners focus on just one app and nothing else.

As a side note, did you know that it usually takes 5 to 10 years to fully master working with 3d studio or Maya or any other app of it's kind?
 
Well I work as a Customer Service Representative right now for a company called Asurion. and what a darn good company it is. i love it. but i dont wanna be here forever.

we do Wireless Phone Insurance claims when people damage/lose their phones and we also do Roadside Assistance. But I chill on the net most of the time :)



I really want to get a job working in the game industry but then again so do hundreds of thousands of people... so i guess im out of luck. :(
 
RAF (airforce) propulsion engineer. 5/10 years, then go civilian working on the jumbo's.

My mum is trying her hardest to stop me joining the RAF, my dad doesn't mind so much, but would prefer if I did something else.

Computer Programmer, probably start my own game design business. Otherwise I'd like to be and engineer, a high school teacher or a college professor (physics, math, or comp science). I also want to try my shot at getting drafted into the MLB, but that depends on a lot of things.

Anyone can be drafted into the MLB. There are about 75 rounds.

But how many actually make it to the Majors? Most stay in the minors.
 
At the moment I attend an interpreter school and work part times for a friend's real-estate agency (layouting brochures, taking photos of the objects and some other minor stuff).
But my aim is to start up my own little business here in Germany, selling car & bike parts over the internet. And later, if all goes well, starting to tune luxury limousine cars and sports cars (like AMG, Brabus, Carllson, Junction Produce and what all the others are called do) but in a more individual way and building so-called 'streetfighter' bikes. Sounds weird and like a dream for sure, but that's what I am aiming for.
 
so where does interpreter school work in with all that?
 
You guys have some pretty cool jobs! My dad fixes cars and my mom works for Providence, I'm only 14 so I don't have a job yet! :D
 
I do have a job , actually :) It's , selling newspapers every weekend. I earn pretty much , 15-20$/weekend. That would be 50-80$ for a month. I think that's pretty good for a 13 year old boy :D
 
Actually, I can just ask for money but that doesn't usually work very well! :D

Very, very, very, very few make it to the majors. But it would be awesome to be drafted.
 
Well, I figure my chances are better than some, as I'm not a pitcher. Plus, if I don't get drafted out of high school (or even if I do), I will attend college and play ball, then try and get drafted again. If that doesn't work, then I'll just get a regular job, coach little league, and play home-talent.
