After 3 long years of job searching, I finally got into the film industry doing post production and technical stuff and I can not be happier. It was my childhood dream.

I have some college friends who also work in film like myself but as animators, some that work in big game companies like Electronic Arts and some that are artists for mobile games. Mobile games is very entry level and quite easy to get into if you're a 2D or 3D artist. I got in a debate with a friend who is an artist for a mobile game company and constantly boasts about how cool his job is and how rich he will get and so on. My defense was I get to see shots of big movies before they are even released and I get to process the shots that the client (e. g Disney or Marvel) send us. To me, mobile games are okay and can be fun but they are not that popular like say EA games are and is much harder for them to gain a community. I won't disclose the company I work for but I get to work on some very big name movies even though I'm a very small role and 99% of the time they won't put my name in the end credits and just credit us as a whole studio but I don't care.

I feel like my job is more rewarding because people anticipate the release of the movies I work on but maybe I'm just being biased. When a mobile game is released, they constantly have to find people that they can sponsor to get the word out about their game. That's why you see so many gaming YouTubers get sponsored by mobile game developers.

So I want to ask the people of GaG of what they find appealing if given the opportunity and hopefully put this debate to bed.

My BFF was away caring for her dying mother when her husband began showing up at my job late at night after he got out of work to pick up groceries. I found it a bit odd because but shrugged it off since I figured we were the only local place open so late and he works a late shift.
At first conversation was the usual... How are the kids... hows the dog what you up to (Our families hang out together my daughter is BFF with their daughter my husband is good friends with hers and our youngest are playmates... So go the same church have barbeques and birthday parties together sort of thing)
Then as he kept coming back the conversation switched to him complaining about the list of chores she left him... To complaining about her ways to the bombshell "I'm really lonely. My wife is away and driving me crazy. I'm all by myself and I am in desperate need for a second" This was said as a "joke" but the look in his eyes had a certain seriousness.
I was dumb founded. All I managed to say was "she's a good woman. She's going through a lot and she be home soon enough."

P. s. Should I mention at that time it was no secret my husband and I were dealing with/aiming to patch up a separation? I'm not sure if this is relevant but some people have tried to tell me it is.

2nd P. S. I choose to put off telling her Because her mother died soon after and she was in shambles.
