Yea the unfortunate side of game art is the fact that you're being contracted for a job, so you're getting paid a single sum up front, if you have to spend more time than expected to solve a problem, then thats your time. I know some guys stay in the office till 9 every weekday. The cool thing I've been looking into are royalties, I don't have an exact figure, but assume you land a job at blizzard and you worked on WoW and part of your contract included royalties... you wouldn't be set for life but thats one bad ass bonus
I'm currently working in print media living with my folks and going to school for a comm design degree because I know how expensive its going to be to live in the cities where the jobs are at. Like every one else I'd love to have a well paying job where I own a large house with plenty of land in fact I could get there doing print media after I graduate this spring, but this is my dream job, and knowing that every Monday I'll wake up an hour early and WANT to be at work makes me try harder every day.
