widest range in the spectrum of photographic niches... :)

I worked in the club scene for yrs, got out in 95 started a demolition company

finally bought a computer in 2001, finally turned it on in 2002.

Hmmm... I have a rather "diverse" resume. B)

back to the net.

thats cool, whereabouts? i think that would be a interesting career.

Let''s see ... ten years in the Navy, five years at Anheuser Busch, a year in medical supply sales, three years managing my own cleaning/disaster restoration/janitorial franchises (ServiceMaster); back to A-B for a progject, two years in banking, back to A-B for a project, five years in litigation support for a law firm, back to A-B for a project ... been on the 'net since 2001.

Not sure what I'm going to do, however. I'm getting restless again. Might move to Montana to raise dental floss, might go to school to be a rocket scientist or a soda-jerk.

Law School....

I have been thinking of taking the bar in Fl. I am trying to work some free time....

Imagine the scourge set upon the world if I become a member of the bar.

It could be one of the signs of the Apocalypse.

I think it's more of a fantasy.

I have never sued anyone.... but I fantasize about it.

So many causes of action... such little time. B)

haha id put you on retainer:)

Every "real" job I had before the net was in telecommuncations - LD companies, 0+, payphones, LD resellers, 900, etc.

Several HS/college/early 20's jobs too, but nothing exciting - no exotic dancer jobs :(

Become a Tycoon?

Marketing Director
Sales Manager
Sales Trainer

Become a Tycoon? [/b][/quote]
Frankly, yes .....

Drunk/stoned college student...working part time at DHL lumping boxes or any other shit job I could find to pay the rent. A stipend just doesn’t cut it if you wanna eat anything other than mac and cheese.

My best job was working for Half Priced Books. Run by a bunch of hippies but being paid to be around books was like a wet dream come to reality. I’m a degenerate bibliophile so I was in nirvana.

first job I ever had was working shelving books at the local public library for a whopping $0.60 per hour.

Got fired for reading on the job.

thats cool, whereabouts? i think that would be a interesting career. [/b][/quote]
Orlando. Teaching is my first love. I plan to return to it after I retire.

:okthumb:

Selling weed, Making burgers and steaks and mopping floors, then got a job at a mortgage company, started making some part time money on the net while at the burger job that I was at for a year.

Selling pot was a nice teenage gig, always pleanty of girls wanting to get high, made good money, didnt have to do much work for it, always at a party and got paid while getting high and flirting with girls.

Inbetween the burger place and the mortgage company, I got a job at a foodstore bagging groceries, it was so boring i downed most of a bottle of vodka on an empty stomach before comming in, started acting all nutso and threw up all over the place. I figured out fast that bagging groceries wasn't my true calling.

Owned a retail sporting good store for 12 years..... prior to that, I worked as a project manager for the local Phone company for 23 years....

I was an executive chef for 12 years, ran a comedy club for 5 years...


also, no exotic dancer experience here...yet :yowsa:

So many occupations…
Here are my major ones in the order that I had them.
Family A/C contracting business growing up, it was hell, still have my contractors license.
Photographer
Madam
Graphic designer
Publisher of swinger magazines
Mac computer consultant
Pornographer
Some of them overlapped others. Still have a few computer clients that I maintain but probably not for much longer. Out of all the things that I've done I like my current occupation the most since my biggest decision of the day is do I get dressed before or after work. I do miss doing photography but the money was shit so I don't miss it that much.

Damn I feel old…

Whats "Offshore Consultancy" ?

Whats "Offshore Consultancy" ? [/b][/quote]
I was a Director of a company that specialised in Confidential Asset ownership and management , and the creation of tax efficent structures. (ironically LOL)

A high percentage was arranging offshore corps to own Yachts and having them then British Registered.

Mechanical Engineer was my trade of choice before getting online.

Real jobs..
Tape Librarian
Computer Operator - IBM & Unisys

Computer Operator - Tandem
ATM Project Manager
ATM Network Admin

ATM is refering to Automatic Teller Machines and not Asynchronous Transfer
Mode.

Worst bullshit job was in high school.. worked at a toy store in the mall at Christmas. On my first day everyone took a break, went to lunch.. whatever. I found I was the only person working in the store. I didn't know how to work the register.. so I kept telling people Merry Christmas and it was free. I gave away a bunch of stuff..

Best bullshit job was in college.. I got a part time job at a movie theater.. I ate lots of popcorn, never figured out how to work the register, and got fired because I sat in the theater watching movies all day long.

I was thinking Ass To Mouth B)

Started as a programmer back in 1978 then eventually ended up as IT manager for BMW in South Africa. From there I went into software sales and eventually helped setup the Informix Distributor in. Left there and started Unify Corp. in SA before leaving to move to Australia. Was the IT manager for BMW here and then left after my adult sites could support me.

High School :P

Well, not totally true ... did a few other crappy jobs here and there, brickie, paper delivery, managing director of a company in sydney that was insolvent while trading ... but started in 'the industry' on my 19th bday when i started working at insane media. Prior to that id done a few websites for other people, non adult though.

I got fired from my only foray into retail ... I worked in the display department for a department store for about three months during the Christmas season right after high school. I was already a tad agrivated by being smacked across the back by an umbrella-weilding old lady who was concerned that the sight of naked manequins on a cart was unsuitable for children who might see them when a lady asked to try on a dress. The difference between the size of the dress and the size required by the woman probably exceeded Grogan's current age, and I apparenly was less than kind in telling her so.

Gee my First Job was a paper boy when I was 10 ( There was no equal opportunity back then I had to be a paper boy ) :yowsa:

After 15 years of Sports Management
I discovered computers and decided to get an IT degree
sold the Indoor Cricket Centre and started a Web Development Co
in 1995.

And here I am...
