Dead from enlisting in marines (I have, failed test on purpose after rethinking the situation, pre-9-11), Construction worker, janitorial, cook, web design, computer repair, geek squad, or pr0n star!
Right now no idea, really just want to land a gig and remain their, wanting to win the lottery like the rest of the world but, hey you never know.
Ok, easy answer would be 2d art, but more than likely journalism. I almost went that route instead of the art route. I've always written, even had a few articles published in magazines. Just something I really enjoyed ever since high school and always had a knack for. I actually was thinking about that earlier this evening as something to maybe dabble in again.
I was studying Japanese at uni before I got into art, so I'd probably be some overworked salaryman in Tokyo. Pretty glad I didn't end up going that way. Actually, I think I would have tried my utmost to do something creative anyway so hopefully I'd be a writer of some kind.
(boring realistic alternative): programmer for some boring business apps or bullshitting people as marketing person.
(realistic alternative): I would have studied history or sociology instead of animation and would be unemployed now.
(more interesting): chef in a big hotel or on a cruise ship - yes, I really did consider it at one time... mmmh food... or restaurant critic?
(totally unrealistic): I had studied medicine (realistically with little success) and would be a shrink now (then again that's not so different from working it games at times)
I'd say 2d but 2d is fuckin' hard as hell, I find 3d way easier hence the job route. I dunno if i could stick to my guns to improve at 2d to a point where i could make a living. Realistically i'd probably still be doing the job i was doing before this, building computers.
I'd stay close to design stuff, but if not that, car/motorcycle mechanic. I still hope to do that once I retire or something. Build real stuff in a shed all day.
I probably would have stuck it out in my 1st career, photography/retouching...or I may have pursued my interest in the sciences and become a chemist/physicist or engineer or some kind.
I'd be doing Chemical Engineering or something, since I was good at that at High School. Seriously, I think that all of my high school years have been a completely waste and wouldve done different stuff now that i think about it.
While I was sculpting, I got up to let the dog in because it started storming, but when I stood up I noticed a deformation right above the eyebrow of this head I made, I smoothed it out and while I was smoothing lightning struck the tree in my yard and it crashed through my kitchen where I would have been standing as I let my dog in.
Art saved my life, and I will never forget that.
Nah im kidding, im still in highschool, Ill focus on dentistry or another art related field while I work on my personal art portfolio, I really want to work for bethesda in Maryland .

Honestly, no idea, most likely a lawyers since I can be pretty crazy.
Not completely joking, either.

Or a prop-maker.
Or maybe some sort of physicist.
ErichWK: Pretty cool band you got there
+1
oh wait...
I'd probably be doing something really boring for the money, like dentistry *shudders...*
If not that then something to do with web design..
If not that then a car mechanic.
Who am I kidding, I'd probably be flipping burgers at McDonalds
There are jobs like that?!
Or porn. I always thought Dicks Aplenty would be a great stage name.

3d has dictated my life for about 10-12 years
If there wasn't 3d, I think i'd still be animating. Just in 2d or modeling supersculpty stuff hopefully for a cool production house
that'd be pretty lame
If none of that, wallowing in self-pity.
