In Five Years

So there was a question purposed of where I wanted to be in five years...

Ultimately, I would like to be in a VFX studio or associated with a film studio like Universal.  Before I graduate, I plan to apply to a visual effects school that is associated with Universal Studios--Dave School.  I'm not sure if I have what it takes to get in just yet (or even the financial means to make it happen since it's a private school), but if I don't I'm okay with taking a year or two detour, maybe looking at a program that I found to teach English abroad and building up my portfolio in the meantime.  I am confident that once I get into Dave school, I can get a foot in the door to an effects or studio job--even if it isn't where I want to be right away.  My ultimate life goal would be to work for Weta Digital, but that boat is likely going nowhere due to my inexperience, degree status (or lack there of), and immigration laws.  I've made peace with that and may come back to it when I'm older.  In the mean time, I just want to work in visual effects or video editing.  That's where I at least want to see myself.
