Every once in a while the folks at Animation Mentor release some pretty cool e-books, like the ones from the "Tips & Tricks" series by Shawn Kelly.
Case you haven't seen, there's a new one available: How to Become an Animator
After a quick reading, I saw there's some neat things like the description of common job titles in the industry and a pretty good book recommendation list.
Along this e-book also comes a little "gift": an industry survey made with students and professionals, to help you choose the best way to go on the animation field.
Recommended readings! :)
