----------

1) Why did you choose this particular career?


…because I’m too hyperactive for a real job.

2) What was your academic major in college?

Character Animation.

3) Do you have any resources/family members in this career field?

Well, I do now.  Because my brother paints backgrounds on my show…

4) What do you like/dislike most about your career?

I like/dislike working with other people.

5) What type of education is needed for your career?

Well, none.  But it REALLY helps to have gone to a school like calarts for animation.  But you don’t need a degree in it…
