One year of work at an internet company is worth 5 years experience

I certainly believe this to be so (although I guess can depend on the company), what about you ???

I've always kinda wondered what I'd be worth to a mainstream company. Like if I ever got out of adult for some reason and needed a "real" job then what would I get paid.

I droped out of college when this biz took off for me 6 years ago so I don't have a degree. So I really don't know what I'd be qualified to do

I mean how would the interview go:

"Ya I made tons of money in adult internet. I was good at getting traffic and selling it to sponsors."

I doubt that phrase translates to a 6 figure salary, lol

Hopefully I'm here for good

Even at school I felt like Dilbert, and I bet work would drive me nuts (especially since I've tasted freedom. )

I have no degree either....but any company that requires one, I would likely label as 'traditional' and not want to be a part of anyways

I've also seen, in the process of hiring many people, that someone with some experience is a LOT more valuale than someone out fo school with a degree but no experience.

The other thing is, school is always behind. Example, if a new programming language comes out, it will be many years before schools ever include it in their curriculum....so you will get someone with basic programming theory but no practical knowledge

Sure except of course somebody with a degree and experience is even better.

What you learn in University is how to learn. Finishing a degree shows an employer you can commit yourself and you're able to learn and then perform tasks as instructed.

1 year of selling yourself for sex makes you a whore. Well, that's what I um, heard anyway.

Work 1 year in a telemarketing room and you will be able to sell anything for the rest of your life.

Can you get the same type of experience at a collection agency?

It's funny that you say that. My very first job was being a telemarketer back when I was 16. I kept that job for about 2 years. I was one of there top employees practically over night. It really does give you GREAT people/social/sales skills.

I've always had great communication skills though so the job came naturally to me.

I can honestly say that the reason I'm still here in adult is because of my networking/social skills.

Hmmm, I guess now that I think about it... if I ever leave this business then a high end sales job would be perfect for me.

Those people suck. Had one has a consulting client and couldn't believe the nasty shit they pull. They all had real attitudes! I'd skip it. My

Plus that collection agency didn't pay their last invoice. Figures.

Wasn't enough to go to court.

I have made that transistion. It's hard to find a company that will even look at you once they know you have been in adult. When I finally found one, I had to spend a lot of time with legal to help "clean up" my history.

I view experience as entirely overrated. Some people are competent, creative and intelligent; others are not. If you're mediocre at something for decades, are you really worth more than an inexperienced person?
