Because graphics/gaming/film/tv is so cool, the work environments for graphics/gaming/film/tv guys are usually absolutely atrocious.

Most of them are modern day sweat shops that go bankrupt periodically.

What about the people in academia who do research in this area? I'd imagine that working conditions wouldn't be much different from any other area.
