The state of the CG industry

[EscapeStudios]

Hey guys,

I just thought I'd give some feedback to everyone on the results of a survey which a few of you took part in, looking at the state of the CG industry. We had over 2,800 professionals, hobbyists and students answering questions, so it gives a good idea of what a large proportion of the UK CG industry think.

One of the great things which have shown up is that professionals working in the CG industry in some form generally love their job. 80 per cent of you are happy working in the industry, and 59 per cent would recommend the career to others. Noy many other industries have that sort of approval rating, so the CG world must be doing something right..

However, despite the obvious enthusiasm people have for their work, there are some anxieties out there. 42 per cent of respondents said they are worried about job security, while a massive 62 per cent agreed they have had to do more training to refine their skills. Just a quarter of professionals agreed with the statement ‘I get enough training in my job’, with over half disagreeing with it.

If you're interested in the results, you can get a PDF featuring them here

How does this reflect your thoughts on the industry? I'd be interested to see if 80% of you guys really do love the industry, so let me know what you think.
