I think that this is a perfect quote as to how i feel about CG too mate. I knew that i wanted to work with computers from a young age but only when i found out i could study game design was i really excited to learn more. I was introduced to 3D while at university and loved it from the start, although i would have liked a course more about this subject i still came out with a great degree and im currently learning all i can about 3D.
Im starting my first job in the games industry in a couple of weeks and even though it isnt what i would like to do in the long run its a fantastic opportunity for experience and a chance to add to my CV while i still learn more about 3D and design.
This brings me back to what you were saying as i feel so lucky to be involved in an industry that i love and to be able to say that i enjoy what i do and to look forward to work everyday means a lot more to me than any extra money ever could. I couldnt imagine anything worse than working 5 days a week in a job that i hated!
The fact that i love what i do, or want to do, makes me want to learn more everyday and that is a lot better to me than a random job with more money. And like you said with hard work only your imagination can hold you back!
Good luck with your work mate and thanks for the links to the books ill take a look at them
