for some reason Yoji Biomechanika springs to mind as soon as I read this.

there are what i would consider successful people in our scene(seattle) that still have day jobs. i believe this to be discouraging if your only goal is to "live the dream". i personally do it for the love but, i would certainly be interested in taking a high paying job in the field. or just blowing up on the scene internationally.
