If you love art and computers, then animation may be the career for you. Computer animation combines your creative talents with high tech vision to form a unique blend.

As a computer animator, you'll frequently work in front of a computer and will need to communicate well with others. You can expect to work a typical 40-hour week and may need to be available for extra time in order to meet deadlines.

Computer animation salaries are high. The average is nearly $60,000 a year and it's possible to get a job as an animator without a bachelor's degree. However, having some sort of formal training will really help you when pursuing your first job. Many schools offer animation programs ranging from short certifications to bachelor's degrees and beyond. Gaining the proper education will go a long way in your career and by increasing your salary as an animator.
