Military Veterans in Creative Careers; is it something you have considered?

I used to work at Atari and FUNimation prior to the military. This is interesting.

I believe that military veterans are better suited for creative careers than most because it's a pursuit requiring greater dedication and discipline than most. I know that many think of the artsy-fartsy crowd as being less disciplined but the true artists are a lot more conservative than one might think. I know. After leaving the military I worked in advertising and I discovered two types of people there: Those who wanted to be artists (of all types of disciplines - fine art, commercial art, photography, stage actors, voice actors, etc, etc) and those who produced art. The former looked like beatniks and hippies and produced little that was worthwhile. The latter often looked like conservative business people and produced great works and performance art. However, to be completely honest, most of the best failed to make a good living at it. Competition was keen and the vagaries of public opinion (fads) and critics opinions were hard to fathom. Styles changed many times while an artist worked to master any one of them. Chasing fads was a fool's errand and the successful artist was the one who arrived at the ascendancy of one with the skills to fulfill the need. Yes, it's a real crap shoot. Sounds a lot like a battlefield, doesn't it? It is...

Thanks for sharing
