I am sure you are looking at what is best and unfortunately I am sure you wont be the last. Hell some of my best clients seem to be considering closing their doors...

Take a deep breath and be glad you have something you can move onto.

As the Dow drops another 500 points today I am beginning to wonder where this is all heading. So far, I feel very fortunate that there is plenty of work to keep us busy. I also see that there are still many projects out there for all of us. How long will they last? I have no clue.

All I can really say is that we all need to keep the faith and keep working harder and smarter. There are solutions to every problem and economic downturns always have a silver lining.

Ryan,
Things will eventually turn around and you will be back. Enjoy the break and don't get rusty

Good luck Ryan! I know how ya feel. I went back on my own in May. For the last six weeks I have hardly worked at all. Of course, today I found myself working a 15 hour day. So I guess either way its a stressful business to be in. I should have gone into healthcare.

We don't "know" each other Ryan, but good luck from me as well. I've appreciated your posts.

The A&E firm I work for just let 19 people go this morning, following the 15 architects, engineers & techs that were laid-off in June. The layoffs this morning included one of our own 3D artists. There are now 2 of us left, and we will very likely be unemployed by the end of the year if the economy stays on its current vector.

I didn't even know what to say this morning when I said goodbye to three people who I'll probably never see again. Very hard to offer them words of consolation and hope, knowing what they, and we, are going to be facing in the near future.

Good luck to all of us, I suppose. We're going to need it.

Well the fact is dreams change as well as the economic situations.

for twen'y five years i tried to change
but life is nothing but a who**
the dreams i had they were rearranged
till they crashed like waves upon the shore...

yep i dreamed of writing songs and "Great" music, a long time ago.and even now 3d is just a side job (i am a toy and stationary salesman) but i'll get back to music one day (as soon as i "master" my 3d technique...
what i want to say is that if ur passionate enough about something, u will get back to it.
Ryan, good luck and hang on to ur dreams.

Good luck to ya. Allthough this doesn't have to be farewell. Just becuase you are leaving visualization doesn't mean you have to leave the forums. Stop by and say hi from time to time at least.
