My daughter, who has two years left of high school, has informed me that she would like to study art and #animation in #Canada She's neurodivergent, queer, and exceptionally talented (if I can brag.) Can anyone recommend places we should look into?

@darkwolf

The student knows better than anyone what approaches are comfortable for them.

There are regions with concentrations - primarily by city - Vancouver, Toronto, and MontrΓ©al. But you want to focus on school-before-job, imo.

I hope you are getting responses from people working in this field; they will show how varied and unique each person's path ends up being.

@Amgine @darkwolf one thing worth mentioning is the industry is in absolute tatters right now. If you go to a school and they say they can 100% get you a job in the industry, they are lying and you should go somewhere else. I did the 3d program at CapU while my wife did the 2d program. Right now I'm employed probably because I went down the software development track way back in 2013, whole she's been looking for work for the past year. And she's not alone at all with looking for work.
