				 | edit: sorry i missunderstood you question, i thought you were asking if you were making 2000/week FROM adult... answer depends on how much you are currently making in adult, and if you can handle having to answer to somebody

 but if you are making less then that, switch to the 2k/week job... work there for a while, build up capitol to invest in adult... then drop your earnings back into your online business to get it to a 2k/week level then you're set

 you and me both know it... now you just need to compare that to what you're making now, and what direction you want to go... then make you decision based off that... why not take the job for a while to build up investment capitol, then invest back into adult so that you can be making 8k/week from your adult business all the while being your own boss

				 | With 8K a week, you could live happily. Nice house (4k a month mortgage = $700,000 house), nice car (1k a month gets you a nice Mercedes), and you'd still have plenty of leftover cash. But do you really want to work 40 hrs a week? Do you want a boss? Do you want to wake up early and work long days? Would you be making less or more $? I work 2hrs a day, and easily make over 2k a week. So my answer is definitely no, maybe im lazy. But if i were looking for a stable job, i would consider it, and also keep a porn job on the side. |

				 | Here in Quebec, if you're clearing 2k a week, 104k a year, that's almost like a salary of 200k. So ya, that's pretty good, it's not illegal, and you get benefits. Not to mention, you didn't mention job security, is it something you can stay at for 5+ years or is this like a 1-2 year thing? |

				 | MrIzzz.. we're both in the NJ/NY area.. WHICH IS EXPENSIVE AS FUCK..  id say take the guaranteed 104k/year.. do the 40 hours, and delegate most of your porn assets to cheap labor.. or automate as much as possible to limit online management to about 1-4 hours day.. its what i do =]

 There's other factors to consider, a lot of people like working for themselves, so even though you can't put a monetary value on it, it does hold value. As far as money, that job looks very good, I don't know what you graduated in or what experience you have but that's a very solid income with potential for advancement. | |

				 | if you could make 2k a week at a respectable job or career, why the hell would you stay in adult or switch back to adult? Some of you have major problems, or you just aren't intelligent enough to do anything besides being an adult webmaster... |

				 | For 40 hours a week ... with ALL the benefits (theeths, life insurance, kids insurance etc etc), most likely honestly ... if it's a stable job. 2000 a week CLEAR is like 200k here ... fucking great salary. good enough to make a great living.

				 | all depends on what you make. sure to some 2k/week isn't shit but to others only making 2-3k a month, its great. i don't know, a chance to make 8k a month every month without having to worry about making sales would be nice, as long as you don't have to work like a dog. you could also do the adult stuff on the site and still make extra money.

				 | Personnally, I'd go for the job. But then again, I've always been the kind of person that NEEDS a pet project. So I,d prolly do some adult at night to build up enough business to be making way more than 2k a week if I were to webmaster full time. Once I would reach that objective, I would quit my full time job. I need a goal in life, otherwise I'd just feel like an empty shell. A full time 9-5 job gives me that feeling, thats why I tend to shy away from it. Btw, is this a discreet offer MrIzz? hehehe you got a job lined up for someone here?
