I've always been curious as to how I'll react when I get that first break into the industry, so I'm curious what it was like for you guys who currently work in the industry. Were you self taught or went to college, and how did it feel when all of your hard work finally paid off? Thanks!

I've produced this normal map for an old wooden plank and would like some feedback on it please. Specifically: It has some nasty looking seems that I would like to get rid of.
