I don't know how many artists here have experienced something like this, but you wouldn't believe how many people assume Disney has a shortage of artists and is desperate to hire anyone who can draw a stick figure.
In reality, Disney is an incredibly hard company to get in and you have to be an exceptionally good artist to even dream of having your portfolio reviewed by their talent department. And I'm told those good enough can be on a waiting list for years before they actually land a job.

Maybe not exactly "Disney" but I'm sure you have heard things like "Oh, you can draw cartoons, you could be making a lot of money out of that" or simply pointing at your drawing and saying "You should be working at THAT"

I rarely draw porn, but when I first published my comics in a magazine, the other comics in that issue were so explicit, I could not show it to my family. ( ╯(oo)╰, )

Oh, I can't stand Disney either. But the point here is how people assume just because someone can draw a very simple cartoon he could get a job at the very top of the art market.

Oh, I know. I'm just saying that, if I saw someone that made the best Disney artist look like an amateur who couldn't draw a stick figure on a bet, I wouldn't curse the artist by suggesting they try to get a job with Disney.

I like the Disney Bros. Studio back when they only made cartoons. The corporation now makes very few cartoons or things that look like cartoons to me. A lot of stuff is done 3rd party now like the new "Lion King" that looks nothing like cartoons. The artists who worked on that were let go after it was finished. They call you when they need you, I guess.

When I was a kid, I remember another kid telling me I was really stupid because I could be a millionaire if I had a strip in the newspaper like Peanuts. And there I was drawing my funny animals on notebook paper! :)

I remember once I bought one of those "how to get rich" books and it was just a list of useless tips like "Have one car instead of two, drive your wife to work" (I had a bicycle at the time)
But the dumbest of all was "Make political cartoons using free clipart from the Internet and send it to newspapers to make extra money". Back at the time, I was freelancing as an editorial cartoonist for the Miami Herald. It was very competitive, I had to watch the news for ideas, make jokes fast and send them. There were a bunch of other artists doing the same. The paper would select the best cartoon and publish it. In a lucky week, my cartoon would feature once or twice and I got paid $25 for each appearance at the end of the month. So if I managed to beat the other guys at the joke every week, I would make an extra $100 over my Arby's salary. The cartoon business was so stressful that one of the cartoonists eventually snapped and hijacked the newspaper's office with a gun. No kidding.
And the authors of the book assumed someone could get rich by making copypasta cartoons from Internet clipart. It shows how ignorant people are about the art business.

It's not what you know, it's who. why don't you get paid big bucks to work for a huge company? Same reasons most people don't talk about. Corporate politics.
