Firstly, wanted to say that this is a good thread.
Carrie made some good points. My personal situation is that I know I don't want to work for other people. I'm a "Self-Employed" type of person, so I rather work alone or with a partner, not with someone above me.
My background is in Marketing and in PC Networking. I hated office politics, I hated corporate fakes, and I despised working hard and seeing that positive results only helped the higher ups, not myself or my peers.
Will I be in the Industry for the long haul? That I don't know. My business is Marketing. Adult entertainment is a product for me. I don't want to come in here and follow the masses, I want to innovate a little and be at the forefront. I want to set something up here that will work on it's own and I can then move on to other ventures, either in the industry or outside. Wherever the opportunities are.
I don't do this for the love of porn, I do it because Porn is a challenging environment because people are very innovative and react quickly.
