I suppose this advice would work for other career endeavors as well. Interesting how she mentioned psychology as one of the recommended classes to take.

Some of the women I've spoken to say it doesn't matter, but others think women are naturally better at some things. In a lot of ways, special effects is still considered a boys' club (at least that's what I've been told). I like to highlight women who are being successful in that area.

I have to admit I've been chauvinistic in my approach to effects. In the old days, if you mentioned effects and makeup I would have responded without thinking by saying: Westmore, Smith, Botin, Dykstra, Trumbull, etc...or these days I'd mention ILM or the Animal Factory. I guess it never occurred to me to think of this as something in terms of gender. I'm not sure if a woman will give the world of effects and makeup any touch that is different from a man...but it makes one stop and think. This is an interesting posting.
