what job were u in before adult and what job would u be in if u quit adult tomorrow?
 

???????????????????????????????????????????????

enlighten me with your hisotry and future :)

Air Traffic Control

Tough job, but I might have liked this as well. It should at least be a job that's not boring. Something that requires me te be focussed and involves problem solving...

id be washing dishes and smoking crack

so no real change then?

I used to do special make-up effects for the movie industry. It slowed down so I got into porn. Porn pays a few hundred times better, but make-up effects were always and will always be my passion. I'd go back to it if I could still make money in adult, and do fx.

I used to teach. It pays a few hundred times worse than porn.

So when it came down to shaping the minds of our young people and poverty, or minding the shapes of our young people and making some real cheddar, it was a no-brainer.

Before I got into adult I was working in a humanitary center to help teens with difficulties finding a carreer. It was pretty cool.

Before... Trading. If I quit tomorrow I would retire.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

IT(mostly Unix)

I was a webmaster for IBM. If I retired, I'd become a writer. I'm pretty good at it, and I've always wanted to have the time to do it.

Before adult, I worked for a large management consulting firm working with presidents and CEOs of small and medium size companies on how to improve their bottom line. The business education I received doing that was invaluable and has helped me tremendously running my own biz. I'd probably still be doing that, but I took a few weeks off in 99 and spent all of it online learning how money was made and decided I could make a go of it and quit my job and lived off of savings till I learned the biz. The stock market crash in March of 2000 hit some mainstream companies hard that I was working with and forced me to take a look at adult.

If I was forced to leave adult I don't really think I could return to an 8-5 job and would probably get more into real estate investing or buy some sort of offline biz.

ive heard that is one of the most stressful jobs in the world. is you hair grey mcpheer?

shit i didnt realise u were a smart guy!
no offense but a pictured you as a man flicking peanuts in a bar. :1orglaugh

well most know my story -

20's - pastor
late 20's - director of marketing for metal industry
early 30's - director of marketing for software/CD for educational market
at 35 started with python as director of marketing and sales now almost 46 and 11 years in industry have been director of marketing and sales for plugin movie company for coming up to 3 years

hotels
hotels

I worked for the Sac County medical examiners office before I went to school for computers and networks. If I was to quit tomorrow, I would be one of those guys grabbing empty cans to recycle so that I could buy lotto tickets.

Lol, don't go to bars and don't flick peanuts, but I'm sure there has to be a few smart guys who do.

Here's how it went for me. Call Centres - Computer Stores - Mainstream Internet and ISP - Adult.

And now I deal both in mainstream and adult with most of my business in mainstream.

Nuclear Physicist - already retired so I guess I dont really need another job :)

sales and I would go back to sales.

Mainstream web dev.. back then in ColdFusion heh.. then mainstream tech support.. other fulltime job but I dont get paid for is Coaching youth football with SunYouth up here in Montreal.. going on 11yrs.
& Im 'sorta' outta adult now that Im not working.. but once i have things settled here again Im hoping to get back into it somewhere... but Id do anything really.. I think as long as the bills are paid & I can enjoy what Im doing I'd work almost anywhere..

Worked in a computer shop before this. Was boring as hell...

Mainstream TV and Film.

Its apples to oranges. The money is quicker in adult the money is way better in Mainstream just takes a little longer to get.

Nurse - and anything but nursing.

Radio Marketing-Liquor Marketing-Adult Marketing-Car Sales-Adult Marketing if I quit tomorrow go back to selling cars until I get my inheritance

So many different jobs...
 

OK here it goes...Mattress salesman, Baker, Truck Driver, Transportation Coordinator, Movie Production Assistant, Production Coordinator, Admin,...and then adult. Not sure if anyone cares ;-) Feels lovely to be a noob at GFY... Hi everyone!

did just a couple of lame jobs on the side of college... id never go back to those shitty jobs, id rather live under a goddamn bridge

Account Management and Marketing for a few tech and telecoms firms. Trying to stay the fuck away from all that now... Thinking about investing some equity I have and getting into property right now.

Wouldn't stop adult though given the choice.

Before I got in the Web business as a whole, I was a Bartender for 15 years (FL, MIA, Detroit, Las Vegas), and a Limo Driver (Las Vegas).
I will never go back to either one.

I was a drug dealer before I became a porn star, ecstasy, ghb, cocaine, etc....

if I quit today I would go back to being a chef

aka jon clark? :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

1. I worked in telco for 8 years between all the acronyms.

2. I would be working in mainstream online.

:winkwink:

that wasn't even funny

like, not that I got offended and it made me mad not funny, but a terrible attempt at humor from a half brained nitwit not funny

sales&marketing and I would go to online mainstream

I was working in cutomer service right before I started in porn. When I leave porn I am going to work in forensics. I am working on my degree.

Really? What position?

Project Manager / Database Architect

Regional Marketing Assistant (Latin America) for a company that sells cigarette paper across the LatAm. Adult is just temporary until I get my advertising degree from college.

I was qualified in both tower & GCA, all positions

but I fucking hated GCA... tower was much better

the last airport I worked at, Andalusia/Opp Municipal, they wouldnt move me from GCA to Tower so I said Up Yours Baby!! That was in April of '97. I started in adult online in december of '96 so it didnt bother me at all to walk away.

been a fulltime pornslinger ever since

I'm not sure who mcpheer is, or if he has grey hair or not :321GFY

Wow, dude... Any interesting stories?

Ever since I had a near midair collision, I've hated TWR guys :P

the good controllers dont have interesting stories to tell... sorry man

Porn is the only full-time job I've ever had. Been doing this since '99. If I quit porn tomorrow, I'd go back to school and get a second degree in Anthropology and hopefully work in that field.

Haha good answer! :thumbsup

(1) A bunch of different things, most of which made interesting stories.

(2) Probably the same thing, but for more dough.

........

Meh, that was a reply to the makeup guy. Damn forum.
