do you ever ask yourself why you are in this biz?
 
Apart from the excessive chunks of cash, do you ever stop and ask yourself why you do this day in day out?

I've been seriously thinking about selling up everything, getting away from the PC and going back to university and finishing my degree. 6 years in this biz is a long time!

So, why do YOU stay in this industry? Thoughts?

ever lost a girl you have really loved? maybe someone very close to you has died? Money isnt everything - sometimes life grabs you by the balls and drills into your head that stability, security and passion for the things you really want to do is what makes you happiest.

Money isn't everything and never will be. I don't think i need to prove my point any further here..

you are right, a degree by itself won't make you rich, but what if you are already financially secure? What makes you happy then?

This "some of us" does not include you remember?

SURFER!

if your porn career doesn't seem stable or secure to you, and you don't have a love for the porn business, then it would be good to get out and help somebody that really wants to do it.

Chio The Pirate 03-12-2005 07:53 AM

YARGH! The good ship Chio has provided much booty, and me treasures, but sometimes I think I should just kill me parrot, and go hunt some squiggly squids.

Instead I take me extended breaks.

HEARTBREAKER 03-12-2005 07:55 AM

sometimes i stop and think of what i'm gonna do next since porn is not here forever...so i thought i should start my own business outside this biz.

No, but money is a GREAT foundation for the rest of our life.

YARGH! Money buys you the time to do the things you really want, or love.

zentz 03-12-2005 08:09 AM

Sosa 03-12-2005 08:12 AM

Really? Where do you think porn is going? And how can you sit there and say that a THRIVING business like porn won't be here forever but you don't even know what "business" you're going to start outside of porn? That shows right there that your mindset isn't right.

will there be a pirate with a parrot in phoeinx?

Paul Markham 03-12-2005 08:25 AM

I had decided to retire and get out of the UK in 2000, I had enough money to live in Thailand and speak enough of the language.

But late in 1997 Eva came into my life and she at 20 was not ready to sit on a beach.

Got to admit I love it more now than I ever did. Money, never worked for money in my life. Got different motivations and the money always comes in.

Peaches 03-12-2005 08:32 AM

I'm in it because I can make decent money working at home. When my son was younger, this was the best job a single mother could have. I was here when he came home from school, was able to go to all the PTA meetings, sport practices and games, volunteered at the school, was there when he was sick, etc.

Now that he's grown and moved out, I'm so spoiled being able to work in my PJ's and not having to drive anywhere that I don't think I'd ever be able to get a job outside the house again!

Porn just happened to be what afforded this lifestyle. If I could be working at home making the same money selling grapefruits, I would do it ;)

crockett 03-12-2005 08:40 AM

My goal with this business was to have a business I could do from anywhere with an internet connection. I just want to travel around and check out new places.

Pete-KT 03-12-2005 08:47 AM

I like what I do thats why i wake up and do it each day

azguy 03-12-2005 11:02 AM

FunForOne 03-12-2005 11:06 AM

I think I'm here because this industry has a bigger upside than any other industries that I am capable of entering

They give free porn, man. :1orglaugh

Barefootsies 03-12-2005 11:10 AM

It was a hobby I started 9 years ago, and when the internet changed to a "pay to play" I had to change with it.

Why am I still in it? Working in your PJ's is nice. Working from home is even better. But it's more a stepping stone than a career path. I will diversify when the time is right.

:pimp

LeeNoga 03-12-2005 11:13 AM

I went back to college at 30, got my BS degree @ 37, and while at the University I decided to publish porn in 1991 on a media not well known, CD-ROM.. so school is what got me into porn deeper!

I love this business, and would not leave it for the world.

Sarah_Jayne 03-12-2005 11:15 AM

if I ever question it I go down to the train station one morning and watch people commute..that is all I need

MandyBlake 03-12-2005 11:16 AM

in my opinion....the minute you ask yourself that, it's time to change careers.
