Yeah, I remember the dot com bomb. I was living in the Bay Area, right smack in the middle of the Silicon Valley. When I entered college (at a late age) you could come out of two years of school with an AA degree and get a job making $70k right out of the gate working in some IT department.

What I saw amazed me - kids fresh out of high school getting tens of millions of dollars because they had an "idea for a website"; Everyone was hoping to find the next Yahoo. I'll never forget it - there was a handful of sites that were being pushed on TV really hard, and I failed to see how they were making money.

When they discovered they weren't make money, they pulled back the funding, closed up shop, and suddenly the market was flooded with unemployed computer geeks.

This is how I ended up in Porn.
