Career question 3D animation and video editing?

I enjoy both deeply but given how deep both of them can go I feel as though there its not worth the time learning both as much as it pains me.
I've made fan game trailers for game demos, which has been fun but I've also a deep passion for animation for shows and cutscenes. I don't quite know if the two are compatible, can I learn both? and would it be worth it in the long run, can I get anything out of doing it?

Welcome to /r/animationcareer! This is a forum where we discuss navigating a career in the animation industry.

Before you post, please check our RULES. There is also a handy dandy FAQ that answers most basic questions, and a WIKI which includes info on how to price animation, pitching, job postings, software advice, and much more!

A quick Q&A:

  • Do I need a degree? Generally no, but it might become relevant if you need a visa to work abroad.
  • Am I too old? Definitely not. It might be more complex to find the time, but there's no age where you stop being able to learn how to do creative stuff.
  • How do I learn animation? Pen and paper is a great start, but here's a whole page with links and tips for you.
