  10. Animator

Animator Training

to be an animator you need a bachelor's degree in Animation or a related field.

Animator Learning

I believe that Animators need to learn new technology when they finish with there current project. I think that as soon as something new comes out they learn it when they can. I think even if they never use what they learn they do it to say they can, so they get more jobs.

School

The left is what I learned in school my for my future jobs.
The center is what I am not learning in school.
The right is what I could do in school to prepare more.

What I learned

In school I learned how to use Word, Powerpoint, Exel, and Google Doc. I also learned about computer hardware and how to code.

What I Did Not Learn

I did not learn how to do Taxes. Joking aside at this moment 

What I Could Do To Prepare

To better prepare for the job I want to have in the future I could study what we learn, I can practice what we learned in class at home to get a better understanding.
