The people issues in this business are pretty easy to figure out as well.

I agree that a lot of people land in this business that are otherwise incapable of holding any other job of significance. Now I'm not saying they're stupid, usually far from it. But in many cases they have personality issues that make them not cut out to show up for work 8-5 day in and day out and do the same thing every day.

Many of those same personality issues also make them predisposed to self destructive behaviors or irresponsibility that results in them pissing away fortunes and ending up with nothing.

Now that's not to say everyone is in that category. Some end up here just by circumstance and opportunity. And still others follow the smell of the easy dollar. They follow the boom whether it's real estate, technology or porn. They get in, make the money while it's easy, exit when it becomes no longer worth the hassle and move onto the next game. These two groups are the ones who tend to keep their fortunes.

There's also another group that has evolved as the industry as matured and grown just a bit. And that is the "employee". There are some good business men running some of these companies, and they hire the best folks they can to do what needs doing. There's nothing going on there in terms of personality flaws, no one is making or losing a fortune, it's just a job.

Only risk for that latter group is "porn taint". Once you've been in porn, it's hard to get back into a non-porn job unless you can figure a way to get the smell of pussy off your resume.
