Alan McKay is among the best working VFX artists today.  He's just published a short article about his journey, and some of the decisions made along the way.  In his words, "My intent for this article is not to make a “my life” story, but more to point out certain pivotal moments that changed my life, and trickle in key bits of advice that can be applied to anyone’s career. Also. to demonstrate times of failure, self doubt, and pushing through it to success."  Yes, this is an industry driven by the winds of fashion and non-stop change, and starting out today is different from beginning 25 years ago.....but the feelings, preparation, and excitement are not so different.
