>>96172040man, this thought process is tiresome.
You don't need anyone's permission to make animated stuff, dude. You can scrounge up talent from anywhere, organize, and make shit yourself on your own terms. Heck, its easier than ever now, you can just crowdfund shit if you really really need a budget (though a surprising amount of people are willing to work for free just to be involved in a creative process and learn, man, dont be stingy)
Trying to get in the industry is fine but god damn man, most of those big animated shows are pretty much flash in the pans made by well connected californians. The odds are so slim of anyone not born into that world, getting into that world, that you legitimately have better odds just doing the thing yourself. And you should, especially if you're young. I'm 20, I'm animating stuff, sure a job's nice, but don't conflate passion and a job, man.
Just fucking do it, man, scooby doo that shit if you have to, work part time jobs to get a budget if you want to hire randos or comission inbetweeners, or do it all for free, but just do it, don't wait your whole life to "make it" just to get your baby into the hands of people that primarily sell ads.
