i am glad we cleared that up, stevie my boy. but i thought you would have more thoughts, comments, or concerns about my lengthy post earlier.



I've always seen XPT like this: If I agree with your or laugh at your jokes I keep my posting to a minimum, if I even post at all.

If I think you're a retard, have it wrong, or want to stir some shitty I post super lengthy and a good many times.

(I pretty much agreed with everything you said hence the post)

I've commented a bit about the issue of leaving the business, constructing a sound exit strategy (unlike say, George W. Bush), people figuring out their finances, and the mental issues going from making as much as a doctor or lawyer with absolutely *no education* or anything invested to the real world where your yearly salary is less than what you *might* win on Jeopardy, especially for a woman going from making five times as much as a guy on set to 70 cents on the dollar.

Shelley wouldn't be an issue if the industry did it itself; the only people I can even think of where this is an issue is Bill Margold at PAW and that AIM "scholarship" they give which is fucking menial and an embarrassment.

But I think times are a changing; there's a larger number than ever of female talent pursuing *real* college degrees or who have them already. Its just a slow change and so much time is needed before they get comfortable and secure enough financially where they can give others advice and help, all the meantime while not being run or scared out of the industry. Or companies being more selective about who they hire and at what point in their lives.
