Comment on You know, the lipsync by haffri
ah ffuck stop animating so much or I'll have to make an animation studio and bring you here and hire you to work for me.
... You want to animate for my studio?

It depends on how much I would have to pay you for that?
Haha I think if you work for me, I would pay you.
but it would be in Canadian dollars.
How much is the industry standard in your country by the hour?

Oh, it's certainly lower than MY standard.
(Shh. I am trying to sound professional and drag attention of my prospective employer to my confidence about my skills.)
That is just a poor excuse to avoid the question, because I am still a student, and I struggle desperately to figure out this 'animation job' business.

I will pay you a little bit more than minimum wage! In canadian dollars... XD
Well then, apparently minimum wage in Poland converted into Canadian dollars would be about 1.50 CAD. I'm guessing that's just enough for a warm cardboard box and few dead pigeons for lunch, just as I like it.
Does everybody start like that in this business?

I am totally moving to Poland and bringing all my big Canadian money.
Minimum wage in Canada is different depending on what province you're in.
Some places it is $6.00
Some places it is $12.00
In animation, you start at... hmmm a good chunk over minimum wage.
About 25%-50% higher sometimes,
But since I have always been fired before I could ever get a raise, I have no idea what the average is - only what some starting wages are.
The biggest problem isn't that you don't earn enough money, but that a contract will only last until a show or project is finished, so it's very inconsistent.

Ah. So since I am totally moving to Canada, maybe we should swap identities, so that we can avoid all this silly visa thing.
Especially me.
I had this nasty suspicion that when entering the business from almost zero level, you are forced by big angry boss to accept any mercifully given salary and be grateful, you! Good to know that that's not the case. Not in Canada, anyway. At least I know where it's worth to emigrate.
I am (vaguely) aware that contracts are mostly project-long at best, but right now my biggest worry is if I will ever get any offer of such. It's all so... foggy from my perspective, if you know what I mean. Sigh.
Ah well. Thanks a lot for all the information.
