Is It For Me?

Creativity was not always enough to earn a good monthly salary. But now the scenario is completely different. In the booming market of cartoons and animations, you can easily satiate your creative interests as well as take home a handsome pay packet. But before you embark on this journey, it’s important that you do some self-analysis to know if this really is your calling in life.

Topper’s self assessment grid:

• Are you good at making cartoons?
• Can you visualise a sequence for a story in the form of sketches? 
• Do you have the knack of drawing, sketching and creativity? 
• Do you desire to fulfill your passion in art? 
• Do you feel extremely comfortable with computers? 
• Do you wish to see your sketches come alive and move like a living being? 
• Are you a game enthusiast? 
• Do you feel like developing your own games or making improvised versions of the games that you play?

If you have answered yes to at least 3 of the above questions, then you can surely try your luck in the animation and gaming industry. If not, then it would be wise to do a little more soul searching or analysing yourself on some of the other career assessment grids before choosing your career graph.
