I Recommend Continued Education For All Adult Webmasters
 

I'm currently a nursing student, and I plan on working in the online adult entertainment industry for as long as possible.

I really recommend all adult webmasters who haven't done so to go to college and get some type of job certification. I don't predict a major problem in the industry, but having been in the industry since 2001, I've seen a whole lot of changes. A lot of people that were around then making money aren't around anymore. A lot of programs that were around then fizzled out and faded away.

My point is, this work doesn't require the same amount of hours as your standard 9-5 in a lot of instances. So I think it would be very easy for a lot of webmasters to continue to work on their sites and earn income while at the same time attending some sort of college/certification courses.

Now I know this opens up an arguement about the value you of going to college, but there is SOME VALUE in getting THE RIGHT certification/degree. It's just up to you to pick something that you would be interested in and that's worth while financially.

It's always good to have 2 streams of income.

Nursing pays some big money these days.

Getting certified or licensed is never a bad thing.

Yes I just read in the Dallas newspaper that they are paying nurses $500 per 12 hour shift on per diem contracts....

With pay like that I would work 3 days a week and say fuck the rest

good idea!

Unlike back in the day when only women were doing it.

I have my bacherlor degree... and I have an offline job too!

I Recommend Continued Education For Everyone.

It helps keep you sharp.

I really agree with u

My education got me here

What, and actually get a job? NO way !!

Continuing your education could be smart.. But my uncle once told me that, "college only teaches you how to work for someone else".

Of course it's not 100% true, but I agree with what he said. I can see going and taking some classes on something you like.. Such as art or photography and so on..but IMO once you are into your late 20's or 30's you shouldn't be so worried about school if your plans are to work for yourself.

Now on the other hand if you want to work for someone else then there is nothing wrong with school.. IMO however there is no replacement for going out and doing it, because for yourself you don't need a piece of paper that cost you $50-80k.

So my thoughts would be if you are making money now, diversify into something else. Use the quick easy money from online to get something more stable started.

yes, going to college is a smart move

I have the bach. and worked in telco for 8 years after college. I would never work for someone other than myself again. No matter the amount of money.

But that's just me.

I am however taking some classes this year. Mainly for finances, and some computer type classes for my next projects. I am having a hard time finding good quality programmers, and computer people. So I figured I would brush up on some of my skills incase I have to do part of it myself while finding an IT/programmer person. I have the bank, just need the minions.

I figure if nothing else, I get another piece of paper giving me an assoc, certification, or whatever in the mean time. While I also get to network in the classes for people going into those fields.

:2 cents:

Taking marketing, businses or administration classes can always be good ;)

Education by means of schools is SERIOUSLY overrated. If I look back on my student years....it's been a complete waste of time in terms of eduction. I had
fun though....but that's a different story :winkwink:

For once, i agree with you - even though you did once unfoundedly call me a racist. :disgust

He starts off with everyone that way prolly, or used to anyway. LOL... First time I ever spoke to PL, he was playing the racism card...I had no part of that and we've moved on....I agree with him on this one too. Good thoughts here PL!! By education, I would not stick the standard "school" education either. Scool is what you make of it but any kind of learning is key...keeping up with industry trends, reading what your interested in and simply keeping your eyes open to oportunity can lead you to a more rounded and better life.

Now, back to porn ;-)

Education is key in my personal opinion, however it fucking sucks trying to pay for it.... I'm going to have to sell myself to pay for it...

See your own Sig :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

I love taking classes to keep current on things, but I am not currently pursuing a degree.

I see this more as a side income to my job. It could get more. I wouldn't mind that. :)
But it doesn't have to. The more options you have, the better.

I dissagree, it's all about making the right choises :thumbsup

"It's always good to have 2 streams of income."


Wise words ;)

its helps believe me :)

When you stop learning you are dead!

I guess it's a good idea, but I would pick something with a better growth potential. A nurse makes $25-$30/hr, with a very limited growth potential. If you get a business degree, you get the same $$, but the growth potential is much greater. If you are smooth, you could even leverage your experience running your own adult biz, and bullshit yourself into some 6 figure/year management position.
