What is the secure job in CG? VFX or gaming
Sorry if this question was posted before, i couldn't find nothing similar.
I am kind of the middle to choose for CG film or gaming? Mostly, i am interest in modeling, and texturing, realistic character and creatures. I am already learning human anatomy, from ZbrushWorkshop , and it's a bit of hard for beginner. So i thought, where is safest job to work for. I heard many things for both films and gaming. Like, for films, there is 1 year to make a film, after that, you need to wait to get another task or move to other company. For gaming, for making game, it's takes.2-3-4 years, but it's bad when it comes to cancel the game, and all the artist will need to go. But it's most safest than film.
Could you guys give me some advice, feedback, personal experience or something.

nothing is stable these days but there are still tons of jobs out there, take advantage of linkedin and events like siggraph. as long as you have a good portfolio you shouldnt have too much trouble finding work.
well, nothing in the entertainment industry. I have a friend who's been a mechanic at the same shop for 12 years now and everyone I know in the healthcare industry has been there 20-30 years.
