I graduated 5 years ago...and still havent found the job i went to school for, is it too late to get that job?
I went to school for computer animation in hopes of working for Nickelodean, I have applied endlessly and still have come up short handed. I feel that ive been out of school so long that these companies want fresh out of school kids instead of someone still looking and with a few freelance projects under his belt. Can anyone offer any advice on how to obtain a job in my field?

When you search for a job look at the description and ask yourself if you have all that they require. Then check to see who the references are that you are using. Normally people get their first job in the same company where their parents worked (because the parents are the reference) or where their relatives worked, or the family business was handed down, or where their sorority sisters or fraternity brothers are working (they pull in their sisters/brothers). Join some organizations and network, tell everyone what job you're looking for (doesn't matter the name of the company, right now you just need the experience
