The beautiful thing about this kind of industry is that there is pretty much always room for more people to join in.
I wouldn't say there are specific requirements to get into the industry, due to the myriad of types/styles out there. There are people here, as well as other places, who are still in high school and are already putting their foot in this industry. Though degree's are not necessarily required, it definitely helps to have an education in there to produce a better product.
Many people get started in this industry by taking a leap and showing what their made of. If you are looking for a place to take that leap, this is definitely one of those kind of places. There are a lot of people just starting out, as well as people with some great experience helping out.
I am not smart. I am not powerful. I am just a guy. I am strengthened through my faith.
