Wow, Maybe things were different in 2001 but saying there's no career in graphics sounds ridiculous today. It's also one of the coolest fields.

- jcelerier 6y ago> there's no career in graphics sounds ridiculous today. I'd wager that for this kind of people, even today, "graphics" is not a career. A career in these people's mind is something where you look like a stock photo executive, you'd do code for a couple years and move on to management.
- oblio 6y agoWell, it kind of is the general expectation, unfortunately :-( For many people if you're 40+ and you're not higher up in the hierarchy, something is wrong.
- PaulHoule 6y agoIn India where the industry has expanded the way that it has, that might be a more reasonable expectation than say the US.
- aspaceman 6y agoFunnily enough, I’ve had research faculty in top tier universities say this sort of thing to me recently. “Graphics is an industrial field. There’s just no money in it.”
- the_only_law 6y ago“ A career in these people's mind is something where you look like a stock photo executive, you'd do code for a couple years and move on to management." I shudder when I think about this outcome, despite its inevitability.
- as1mov 6y agoProbably meant in the Indian context. Even today, the gaming/animation industry is pretty small here, it was probably non-existent way back in 2001.
