One other point... What software are you using? I ask that because that directly affects your job prospects. The professional studios around here (Dallas, Texas USA) use Maya or 3D Studio Max or LightWave - the major packages. If you want to get hired by something like them then it would be an advantage to know at least one of those programs. Within the 3D community there are many who don't hold Poser with high regard. If all you know is Poser you might consider taking a course in one of the other packages to counter any prejudice you might encounter. If you want to freelance, most people don't care what software you use as long as you can make your results look like what they want.

Before they made me they broke the mold!
