>you need to 'low paid'
as I said before, if you are good, you won't get "low paid" too long.
>so you are gonna lose so many good days with friends >and the greatest of all
I have great personal life, my colleague have great personal time and we have spend time with friends and family too, although we did need to "OT" and work long hour, but not worst than "Graphic Design" "Ad Agency" and many other industry.
Not better, but at least not much worst than others industry.
>how long can anyone in H.K. keep working in CG, 10 or >20Yrs?
think again, the CG industry is new, I don't think there are many people with over 20 years experience. Some Big Cg production only have 10 to 15 years history.
at least I know many people work in this industry over 7 and 8 years, some over 10 years.
>so I suggest freelancing
everyone freelancing?
ok, I notice you have many negative impression about hk cg industry.
please don't say I'm long gas, if you have passion, and you have talent, you don't really need to restrict yourself in Hong Kong. I know many CG Artist work oversea, work for some US big and famous CG production (not only Raman Hui), so you guy might give it a try.
