Q: If it hadn't been for internet porn, where would you be jobwise?
 

So you got into web porn. Probably started with an AVS or bbs.

Where would you be had not porn taken off on the web?

Oh gad man!!! That'd turn me to the dark side of the force in a NY minute!

I'd still be an Air Traffic Controller

bank robbing
grifting
washing dishes

THAT is scary!

crushing up old glass 7-up bottles, throwing the pieces in a rock tumbler, and selling them as "genuine emeralds" on the streets in new orleans

For me, I'd still be doing what I do now - writing.

Well, GLAD you're on OUR side!

I probably would have been primeminister of Australia or have won a Nobel Prize in finding a cure for AIDS.

Damn.. i must have took a wrong turn along the way!

No shit Greg...


I was making 5G's / month with MaxCash, and I was *still* working there for 10 CDN bucks per hour because I didn't want to leave my "real job".

I quit after a year, and haven't looked back... 3 years later.

The GREATEST part of working though, was not giving a SHIT about management. I was "out" as a porn webmaster to everyone. LOTS of tech had questions about trying to get into the business. only one actually jumped ship and joined the ranks of porn webmaster about a year later. A lot of people didn't believe me... "if it's that easy, why isn't everyone doing it"... they forgot the fact that I actually said I did some *real work* for it.

I was a shit disturber because I wasn't exactly afraid of losing my job. There was awesome power in that. :)

But I had enough one day, logged myself out of the phone for a break, emptied my locker and never went back.

yeah you are ;-)))

Wow Chris, that's a story!!!

Takes real guts to take the bull by the horns. Hope you invest that loot wisely!

LOL!

I would have went to school for sound production....fascinating stuff. Or I would have done non-adult internet :)

I'd still be decorating big houses.

probably some minimum wage shithole working my ass off or tool and die. thank fuck i discovered this. i hate working in factories.

Decorator? Were you any good at it? Sounds like you were.

Well thank goodness for poontang and pixels! :)

Before this I did pretty much the same thing in print

Have also been a stagehand, store manager, and about a billion other things.

Worst day job ever: A friend of mine and I took these helium balloons and tank and drove to a spot designated on a map. Then we had to make sure the balloons stayed aloft . . . so the airplanes dispensing pesticide would know where to spray. For some reason, although we both got really sick and couldn't finish the number of weeks in the contract, we were able to negotiate so that they paid us for the whole thing anyway.

Most all of my clients thought so :)

Niiiiiice! Finding a competent decorator is RARE!

I've seen people decorate a place that redefined the word ' chintz '.

There's a time and a place for chintz, just like Saarinen chairs and Sheraton sideboards :)

i would have been a wedding photographer
UGH

Lemme tellya, when I'm drawing comics I have to design interiors on the fly. Sometimes I would get a story from any time period.

Believe it or not, the most difficult was the colonial period. You'ld have to add this or that for authenticity. Remember the wood grain, etc. Some fans would get picky and write in and say shit like:

" You can't have that frame on that painting! Those frames weren't invented until 1870 and only appeared in a small Dutch village run by the Duke of such-n-such and yadda yadda yadda. "

Then you'ld go to the convention to sign autographs and one of these annoying shits would show up and a fight would start.

An unhappy, fat, chain-smoking, alcoholic, divorcee who works 70 hours a week and never sees her children................

Thank God for internet porn! It saved my marriage and now I have time to be a Mom. :)

You should probably remember to start using the words 'judicious license' when they give you grief ;)

And people say that porn ruins marriages.......HEH

As for me jobwise, I'd be a District Manager for a convenience store chain clawing at the next rung on the corporate ladder.

What's funny is this was a beer money gig for me for over a year, and I got into a fight with my boss at my day job over a $25 a week raise that she agreed to give me but that her supervisor said they "couldn't afford"
I got mad and walked out and told them to call me when they were ready to pay me.

They called a month later but in that month I had nothing to do but crank out sites all day and made more than double what I would have made if I'd have stayed at the day job......it felt good to tell them where to put their $25 a week.

And to add insult to injury, 6 months later the chain I was working for filed for bankruptcy, closed down all the stores, and the bankruptcy judge sold them off one by one
