          You're making two mistakes in your reasoning. First, you assume that the money outside of porn will be bad. Second, you fail to realize the importance of doing something you actually love doing.

          There's more to life than money, really. Money is great, ofcourse, but it isn't really of any use if you have to sacrifice something far more important for it, namely happiness.

          Life is short, and all you have is some time. You can either use that time to make tons of money, so you can have a really nice burial or whatever, or you can use it doing the things you really want, and make money while doing those things.

          For me, the choice is clear.

                      What does no longer working on adult sites have to do with whether or not one posts on a message board? Unless one "found religion" I have never understood these abrupt dumping of an entire community of friends/acquaintances posts...

                        Oh, I'm not dumping the adult community. It's just that I used to come to GFY in between work, for entertainment and to see if there was any news in the industry. Since I'll be spending considerably less time online than before, I probably won't spend any significant amount of time on gfy anymore.

                        Besides, there are too many surfers on this board already as is, no need to add to that

                                Seriously, leaving the industry does not mean living in poverty, nor does activism mean becoming a broke hippie.

                                No, It means earning commissions on fund raising

                                          Why do you people find it so hard to accept that other people may place value on other things than you do?

                                          Hell, I'd gladly live in poverty for the rest of my life if I could get the story I'm working on right now on paper the way I want it. Money is important, but for me, it's not the most important thing in life.

                                              Why do you people find it so hard to accept that other people may place value on other things than you do?

                                              Hell, I'd gladly live in poverty for the rest of my life if I could get the story I'm working on right now on paper the way I want it. Money is important, but for me, it's not the most important thing in life.

                                              Jeez, you people sure get offended when someone doesn't share your worldview


                                              You're kidding right!!!

                                                hey! I accept your choice ... I'm just in adult biz as long as you are and have seen these "leaving threads" several times ... also a few friends of mine left adult biz ... they are all back ... except one who sell all sites and he don't know how to start again

                                                ... you're keeping all your sites ... good for ya man!

                                                  Good luck to you... I too can't wait to go back to studying once the money is made.
