Career Advice – To become a lighter? VFX or Modeling

Hi guys,

I need some advices and answers to my suspiciousness before I go a step

further to my future career.

I just started my 3D study in my 30’s and I am loving it.

I am about to decided my stream next month, either vfx or modeling.

The problem is that I love both of them, particularly lighting.

I feel so awesome when I see lighted and rendered image of my model.

My friends suggests me that I should take vfx stream instead of modeling to

become a lighter. So my concerns are :

1) If I take modeling stream, isn’t there any way that I can be a lighter at all?

2) And I heard once I graduate, only job I may get is a shot prep as a step stone

to lighter so I was looking for infos about that entry level job, but couldn’t find

enough. What is the difference between shot prep and junior lighter?

3) Is there many jobs for lighters in the industry? I’ve been seeing many job

posts, but didn’t see many lighting jobs on the list.

As a responsible husband and a future father at age of 30’s I really need

valuable advices from you guys.

Hope you guys have wonderful weekends.

Cheers.
