I've got the same questions.  I'm an undergrad at Ohio State, majoring in 
Computer/Info Science, and I'd like to work in computer graphics (especially
animation) as soon as possible.  I've done enough independent study to write
some of my own software (wire-frame rotation and simple ray-tracing), but
I don't know what kind of education and experience most companies are 
looking for these days.  Is there any way for me to "get my feet wet"
before I enter the job market? (I'm a junior, and those important career
decision points are coming up SOON!) 
	                Thanks for any/all information in advance...
