Now, I know you wrestle with the English language. I believe you refer to the sixth grade as your senior year, but dude....wtf is that? Here is where your lack of education embarrasses you. Did you mean a: immigrant or b:ingrate. Depending on what you answer, the entire meaning of your post changes. Isn't basic education free in the United States? I am beginning to think that it got canned by some Republican government twenty years ago. But hey, we have Julius, so what can I say? Come back, big boy.

your both A and B So what difference does it make? none I see

I don't know why I bother. You can't spell. You can't write. I seriously hope you don't breed.

I'm the one who started the money as a measure of a newbie thing. I originally typed it being a bit of a smartass and just not wanting to do something traditional like trying to put a time frame around newbie-ism.

But as I thought about it, it actually made a lot of sense to me seriously. Yes, it would also be a measure of success, but in this business money does also equate to both knowledge and experience. And beyond that aptitude for innovation, work ethic and any other nmber of factors.

We're all in this business because of the money. There is no honor in being in porn, this isn't a job you do out of passion or desire for public service or any other higher calling. Kids (well other than GonZo's if he had any) dont grow up going "I WANNA BE A PORN LORD!".

The majority of people are largely drawn here for one of two reasons:

1) Business people and entrenpeneurs are drawn to it as a source of easy money, at least compared to many other options. For each person it comes down to risk versus rewards and they'll come and go based on their own tolerances.

2) People who for whatever reason do not fit in with the normal work force. There are lots of these with lots of different stories. Some are "artistic" and just dont like the constraints of 9-5. Some just flat out do not have the discipline to go to a normal job every day. Many others may have various demons in their past that make them virtually unemployable. And then there are those who are have a similar psychology to the average criminal or con man. They consider people who work hard to be chumps....they come in attracted to the quick buck and will scam in this industry. It's a gold mine for these types.

Now before everyone flames me, there are certainly exceptions to this. Like any other industry some people just land here by circumstance. They are open minded enough to not be hung up on the stigma of "porn", and a job opportunity or other scenario came along that sucked them in and they've been here every day since doing a job just like they would if they were going to work at some traditional brick and mortar job. But I daresay most of these didn't PLAN to be here.

Great post. I don't fit, but most do. However, I never planned to be here. I had an opportunity to get into this business years ago, but walked away because I still had some mountains to climb. I did everything I wanted to do and way more than I ever dreamed of. This came along at a time when I was thinking of packing it in anyway and the money was so enormous, that I got hooked. The rest is history.
