The End Of Our Industry!!!!
ok..
now that I got your attention, take a moment please and let's hear what you did before you where a porn god! What made you get started in
"The Biz"
I was a commercial carpenter foreman, through summer, fall and dead of winter!! I used to freeze my nuts off swinging a hammer. I was in the best shape of my life first off. Second, I've never been hit on or gotten laid so much other then when i was bartending.
Chicks dig construction guys!!
Well, in the pursuit of the american dream, I bought a PC to start my own construction company. I signed up with Prodigy Online, stumbled on the web and the rest is perverbial history. That was back in 1996
If I knew then what I know now I'd be a very rich man!!
oh wait!! I am a very rich man!
Long Live Porn!!!

I was in the military for almost 15 years prior to going full time at this business in 1998. I started to become a usenet freak in late 1995. I still like to play with usenet sometimes, but only for fun. Some of my best friends are still in the army, but are getting out soon. Their 20 year pension is almost due! ![Smilie](images/smilies/smile.gif)

Lemme see ... ten years in the Navy, five years as an office manager for an Anheuser-Busch subsidiary, sold medical products and carpet cleaning and janitorial services, worked in a machine shop, customer service work for Mastercard and on the merchant side of a Credit Card bank, did a stint as a Legal Assistant for a law firm, some consulting for Anheuser-Busch, Ralston, and a couple of other places ...
and now I'm a pornographer. Wouldn't mamma be proud.

College days and the days between jobs were hard. Not enough money, taking my portfolio around to all the studios for work. So far I think this next chapter in my life will be the best. It starts in June when for the first time in my whole life I will be on my own ![Stick Out Tongue](images/smilies/tongue.gif)

Yeah, very romantic, very hip.
But in fact, it sucks.
Been doing the gypsy techno-geek and starving jack-of-all-trade and it sucks.
Better be rich and healthy than poor and sick.
And you can trust me: my great great grand-father was a doctor...

I bet you were a bartender in a biker bar or a tittie bar weren't ya DK!
Before this..... i did all kinds of things, went to school several times for several different things, early childhood education, esthetics, recording arts management, bartending school, then the jobs......... day cares, salons, volunteering at venues for bands (cause even if they paid you it was fuck all), volunteering at some band's management offices (the ones who got paid got paid nothing there too! LOL), retail management, doing estetics at a salon, then asst manager, waitressed, bartender, promo manager, waitress again, bartender again, party promoter, volunteered at an AIDS organization helping out with fundraising and office duties, asst to marketing co-ordinator and THEN came the porn! WHEW! You're lucky i started my post when I was 19, from 14 to 19 i had twice as many jobs! rofl
I have to say it's all helped me in my serving webmasters in porn THAT's for sure! Working in bars taught me how to hold my booze (or drink as much as i can and still be able to stand) and day cares for my webmasters who need special care and babysitting. ![Smilie](images/smilies/smile.gif) All the volunteer work has helped me give endless referrals with no expectations of anything back, just to help out a newbie, or a biggie or a friend as a favor.
Though I've been burned many times, I still help out whoever however I can.
![Angel](images/smilies/angel.gif) I know i sound like an angel I'm far from it! lol But i try. ![Smilie](images/smilies/smile.gif)

DK,
I started the same time as you... As back in those days everyoe thought by putting up a site or program they'd be rich... tons of them failed and lost alot, lots made it and are still around today, others just made the grade and are still trying to figure it out and some made a killing.
Whatever the case, I give each and everyone of them a huge CoNgRaTs for sticking with something they love, and have become good at always willing to ride the learning curve that is neverending in this biz and be innovative in their creations setting new standards.
It's been almost 8 years and a fun ride it's been.. I totally look forward to the next 8.
Now to post something pertaining to the subject, I was a business owner, sold, retired and bought my 1st computer in 1993... I've done quite a few things since then none of which I enjoy more than the WWW
Great thread... should go at least 4 pages..
Keep on Rockin'

I wanted a web design job and nothing mainstream was available. I've learned more about marketing and design from porn than any mainstream dot.bomb company could have ever taught me.
Before that I bartended and waitressed, worked in music stores and a couple retail jobs.

My first job was as a janitor and I did that a couple more times. Did a stint as a security guard and almost starved on the shitty wages. Spent almost 10 years working in the oil patch here in Alberta doing a whole shitload of different things. Spent a few years driving a truck for a living. Driving a gravel truck was ok cuz it was all local work and you got to go home to your own place every night. Highway hauling and paving crew work sucked cuz it seemed like I was NEVER home.
I don't miss doing any of them! ![Big Grin](images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
