Career options – After Effects

Hi All,

I work in an ad ageny (print) as a designer in Dubai. I learnt afx on my own and did some stuff for the fun of it. Now I am keen to pursue a career out of it and am learning it more seriously. I read some posts here and have purchased books of “Chris & Trish Meyers” on After Effects and am learning the software thoroughly. My questions are:

What are the areas that I can seek work if i master After effects, ofcourse i understand that i would need to learn more than just After Effects to get a job. What are the other softwares that are definitely necessary?? Since I am not yet completely aware of all the opportunities, I want to enter the industry with couple of softwares and then decide on a career path once I understand the various possibilities. Also am not the best at conceptualising (when it comes to design), my best skills are more at execution. So keeping my skills in mind, what should i concentrate on to make the best out of my skills.

I will really appreciate any answers on this as this will shape my future. Also this can help a lot of print designers like myself, to understand the possibilities of migrating from print.

Cheers,

Vijay.
