Can an autistic artist become an animator while also being a zoologist?
Hello, I am interested in becoming an animator in the animation industry as an autism advocate. However, with the rise of layoffs, AI, alongside other problems in the industry, I am trying to find a backup plan to have in case I am not able to make into the industry. I am thinking of becoming a zoologist but being an autistic person who is afraid of getting hurt, I am unsure if I want to become one or not. (For those who are in zoology or are zoologists, geologists, etc.) Is it possible for someone to become a zoologist while educating those with autism in the animation industry? Can a zoologist be a backup plan in case things go awry? What majors should I take to learn on how to become one?
