I got into it for the money... both to pay tuition (I graduated from USC in 1999, BA in Nursing,) and to pay the bills. I was a 19 year old divorced college student carrying 13 units and working 2 retail jobs (1 full time at Fred Segal, one part time for Gap Corp.) Porn was an easy way to quit 1 job, pay the bills on time, support the family AND be able to study. I graduated with honors, went to work for the County of LA for awhile, (I worked at Hudson Health Center - a clinic in Downtown LA,) for a year before going back to work in the biz. Handling burgandy urine samples for $18.00/ hour wasn't my idea of a good time...

Someone else asked the question about home ownership... I used to own a condo in Downtown LA's theater district. I sold it last year and bought a larger townhouse in the Valley. I thought I'd hate living so close to work, but I love my quiet little Jewish neighborhood.



Congrats, Sinn! You sound like you know why and what you are doing in this business. I wish you a long and prosperous time in the industry, for however long you choose. You certainly are not the norm. For every person like you, there 50 or more that don't know why they're in the business, or, worse yet, leave the business completely empty, spiritually and financially, diseased, and lost. --POONTALK
