True. I think the industry as a whole needs to reconsider revising the terms on their hiring posts from "Senior" to "Associate or Junior" roles. Besides more money can be saved easily, as long as they look for those who live to mod for a hobby.
Man, I really hope there are studios for all the talented artists out there. Hope you all land some jobs! As a student trying to set a foot inside this industry, while living in Denmark, has me thinking I should get another job for some time and go over to do 3d as a little side hobby of mine... Hope won't pay the bills…
