why im quitting my 6 figure job to become a 3D artist

I'm a bit nervous to upload this video but it's something I've felt for a while and wanted to share my experience as a recent post grad going through their mid life crisis :D ✌︎︎ For a while, I've been making 3D art on Blender, calling it my "hobby" or "side hustle," while getting up at 6am to take meetings and fly every weekend for my job. While it wasn't ideal, being a consultant had oddly been my dream job even since I was 5 years old (weird ik, but I was 5). The wonderful thing about the internet is that the people you get to meet and the wealth of information really can change your life. As I learned more about what's possible out there, my goals had changed over time and I no longer dreamed of labor like I used to. It took a physical breaking point and waking up with a daily sinking feeling in my chest and a yearning to create, that made me finally step outside my comfort zone and decide to bet on myself. But to be clear-- I really did love my job and everything I’ve learned over the past few years working in corporate. Supply chain is genuinely fascinating. It changes the way you see the world and reveals how enormously complex systems connect and how money really makes the world go round. But right now, my fear of regretting not taking this chance outweighs my desire to stay on the path I’m currently on. Also-- I acknowledge the privilege of being able to step away from a job. It takes a supportive family and friend network, financial stability, and a lot more to be able to step away from something great and stable. I don't support shitting on a 9-5 but I do support taking risks when you can and trying new things since yolo. 🫶 My thoughts on this video are solely my thoughts and do not represent the view of my company. 👋 Say Hi! 👋 💌 business inquiries: [email protected] 💻 website: https://www.janicejournal.co/ 📸 instagram: @janice.journal 🍊 tiktok: @janice.journal timecodes 0:00 Intro 0:38 Timeline 1:34 Learning 3D 4:00 What I learned from Consulting 7:50 What Now
