What is your name and your current occupation?

What are some of the crazier jobs you had before getting into animation?
I have done all sorts of job to get my daily bread. It starts from cleaning, catering, mentoring, printing, graphic designing and it is a long list. Fortunately I did not do those jobs for a long time. I got the job as an animator right after I completed my graduation.

And those movies had a huge influence on me. And gradually I decided to pursue a career which I really enjoy. So I started to learn 2d animation and eventually 3d animation. And I really owe my family for supporting me.
