You think so? I make less money now though. When I was doing well I used to make six figures in porn. Then somehow it got fucked, and tanked real bad and I had to get a job. My job is still related to internet advertising; I work in mainstream SEO now as a SEO specialist.
It was hard to deal at first since I wasn't used to dealing with people and weird to be surrounded by people 8 hours a day. However, I'm not sad about it. I had a good run with adult and for many years I had a relaxing, leisurely life.
Some good came out of it too, I am doing things and pursuing things that I never thought I would have the guts to do when I was a webmaster such as acting. Acting is the most social profession ever; if you have to network like crazy, in classes you go up and perform in front of other students, you have to learn how to improv on the spot etc. So I guess it's for the better. Even though I make less money now I am happier and pursuing something I really am passionate about. Before I was just wasting away in front of a computer and never left the house pretty much (looking at celebs all day etc); it was unhealthy like you say.
In a way it made me feel more "proud of myself" so I guess it's helping my self-esteem more.
