My name is Andrew Wilson and I am currently enrolled in a Pre-AP English class at Union City High School and we are doing a research paper about what we would like to do when we finish our education.
I am writing my paper on animation creation. In my research, I am supposed to conduct an interview with someone in this field. I hope someone can help.
1. How did you become interested in your field?
2. What education requirements did you have to meet to get your current job?
3. How long have you been working in this field?
4. How much do you enjoy your work?
5. What else are you involved in professionally?
6. What is your work week like?
7. Would you suggest this career for the upcoming generations?
I would greatly appreciate if if you could answer these questions. I plan to study animation and art at East Tennessee State University upon graduation.
Thank You,
Andrew Wilson
