O.K. it's been a bit tough since coming back to Australia.
Film and TV industry - South East Qld - need I say more?
My choice is:
1. Go back to Primary School Teaching (gasps from the forum). I'm actually quite good with Kids - must be the inner child - DUH! So, Crapola money, but lotsa security.
2. Production Manager for an Animated TV Series. It's good dosh, but short term and high stress.
What would you do?
Go with op.1, who needs stress. Money is not everything
Plus think what you are creating :o :P
It must be whatever your passion is. Security is overrated, and so is money. My 2c
"Tell him 'We've already got one'"
Go straight to 2 dude,after the breakdown you can fall back on 1 anytime :kiss
Which ever you enjoy the most.
If you enjoy doing what you do, it makes you good at it.
If it's just a job, your heart will never be in it.
Well my friends are gone & my hair is grey, I ache in the places where I used to play.
I'd take option one..... only cause primary teaching was my dream job, but you also have the security compared to option two. It doesn't really matter what any of us say, ultimately the choice us yours and you have to live with what ever decision you make.
Thanks Guys! I love animation and kids. That's where the problem arises. DOH!
I've never been so indecisive in my life!
Interview today for number 2. We'll see what happens!
Thanks again!

I have been in film production for 15 years, great travel opportunities, great money, great challenges I would be going big time for no 2
Keeping it real !
if you go with no1 you can screw with their minds! he he he
THe MC Bat Commander's motto: "Never do now, what you could do for 24 hours straight, all night, the night before."
why take the easy option go for number 2 think fame glory travel ,bigger things ,you can be a teacher anytime
Yeah but it's pretty hard to beat 12 weeks + leave a year!
Then again you might stand out as an "outsider" in teaching.
For one you can actually spell, have an opinion that at least appears to be your own and you might actually want to make an impact on a kid's life!
hey u forgot option 3 male gigolo
didnt u say last time u were moving into that field:P
hey you sure you can go back to teaching man??? dont they do criminal history checks and so on these days?? 😉😉 hahahaha.

Hahahahahaha - you guys kill me!
The interview went well. Unfortunately, the travel and glory thing doesn't exist. It's animation - not live action (i.e. hanging around in a big room with compugeeks - similar to here on the forum, but at least I cant smell you guys).
Number 2 requires a big time commitment. I've been there before. Basically you turn the company into your family, and have to eat, sleep, drink the thing (20 hour days etc). Plus the 3 hours round trip there and back, and it's not looking too good for the real family I already have... It will cause stress at home, and I don't need it both at work and at play.
They didn't even quote a pay figure, so I'll see what they say. What do people earn here in media Production Manager Roles guys? (Film and TV peeps) I was on 60K in Germany, started my own company and earned 100K, and then the bottom fell out of the business (a long story).
Anyway, interview 1 is on Friday afternoon. It's starting to look real good (though the extra cash in number 2 would be good for my poor old Bay).
What is your heart saying?
Sounds like you're very creative....What do you teach...can you use your creativity in a class room?...and maybe do some good short animation in own time... show it at Film Festivals &/or sell it off to ABC/SBS??!!!!
....if the animation job is short term....is the short term stress managable if there's a nice pay packet involved?
Is this how it goes??
Hey teacher LEAVE them kids alone!!!
....All in all you're just another brick in the wall
