You dont agree?
Like the reason most of mortgage our futures with 100k's in school loans is to get a good job that pays us huge dollars in return. School is an investment.
But talented folks like Jackerman DONT FUCKING NEED SCHOOL HE IS LITERALLY MAKING MORE THAN 99.9 PERCENT OF ALL COLLEGE GRADUATES WILL MAKE doing freaking 3d animated porn. School is an absolute waste of time for him, a money and time waster.
And the kicker? Dude can ALWAYS go back to school if his porn animation career ever fizzles out. Although for the life of me, what can school possibly offer him that he already doesnt know? The huge fanbase he has already is proof enough that he will never need a stupid college degree to do well for himself.
I agree with you about the student loan debt part, and the ultimate utility of a degree. I guess I was just thinking about the wisdom of devoting oneself full time to making animated porn instead of getting an education for the long game of life.
Like you said, school is an investment for the future. He's making good money making porn now but is that a lifetime career? If he decides to quit school now and wants to go back years later, how much more expensive will education be then? Will he have a family to support then? Will he have the energy and time? He could be successful either way based on the talents he's shown. And I don't know if he's mentioned, but his major may be unrelated to animation. Does anyone know what he's studying?
Maybe your thoughts are the best course of action for Jackerman. I just try to keep my desire to see new, high quality animation in check, remembering that there's a person on the other side who's doing this for probably a small window of their lives before they move on.
I'm looking forward to his next animation, for sure.
