Ask HN: What job title matches my skill set?
Background: I studied Business and Economics at a big University, but didn't go for the PhD, thankfully. Went instead into television animation. I've done 2D/3D animation, special effects and motion graphics for well-known brands for about 6 years. I've also been doing web design on the side for about 5 years, just now getting into learning to code in the last year or so. I'm in love with the power coding gives you!
Software: Very strong in Adobe Creative Suite, especially After Effects and Photoshop, plus a lot of other tools for 3D and special effects.
Languages: Passable in Javascript, beginning Ruby, some php (Wordpress). Very strong in HTML and CSS3 (not languages, I know).
Interests: Something disruptive or an industry that's got a positive impact. Solar energy comes to mind, though that sounds corny. I'm no longer passionate about my ad-based industry with all the Hollywood-style egos and drama. I really want to invest my energies in something positive.
Seems like many there are many possible directions from here… Anyone have any advice on what to focus on?
