"As a general rule mastering Poser will not open doors in the job market." What opens doors in the job market is not your degree, your 3D certificates or the cost of your program. What opens doors is showing that you have a talent. That you can innovate and come up with ideas and solutions. The man who was in charge of animation on Monsters Inc. got the job because he made a little internet clip of a one eyed creature singing "I will survive" and then getting crushed by a disco mirror ball. The people who hired him didn't care if that was done in Poser, Maya or Lightwave, they cared that he knew how to animate, how to give expression and to get the punchline working. Do you think that the people who saw "Fifty Percent Grey" (Oscar nominated) or "Ryan" (Oscar winner) care what program it was done with? It is the end result that counts, not the tools. If you want a job texturing Shreks toes, then learn Maya. The odds of you getting to actually animate Shrek because you know Maya are NIL. But make a great animation, have a brilliant show reel, and then doors will open. And if you push Poser to the limit and make people think you did it in Maya, when they do find out you achieved the result in Poser, they will want to see what you could achieve in a high end program.
