Pornstar (female) first few shifts great but then the work you have to take on to keep the money coming in yuck especially american porn. Already working in a brothel or a call girl when you quit you stay pretty anonymous.
Watch a film called Hot Girls Wanted. Its NSFW, but its not in the least bit pornographic. Eye opening about how parts of the industry work especially on the amateur side.

Over 36 years of work I've only spent 4 weeks of it in an office environment and it was hell. Complete boredom being stuck in one place indoors all the time, ridiculous, infantile office politics and petty disagreements that became huge issues (he used my mug without asking me, that's why we haven't spoken for 6 months).

I found the whole experience soul destroying. I know office work is "the norm" but I'd rather stick a needle in the whites of my eyes than go back and do that again.

That's not normal, though.
Dunno, seems to accurately describe most offices I have worked in. The mug thing made me chuckle. I had a hug in one office who was very protective of his mug. One day it wasn't on his desk (washed, dried and turned upside down on the mat as always) and he went properly postal over it. I swear if we were in America he would have gone home, got a machine gun and come back to do a mass shooting.

Used to think it was either assembly work or retail (having done both, what with brain numbing assembly work and shoppers with no clue what they need/want and have all the stupid questions.

But then I got a job as a Civil Enforcement Office (traffic warden), some days are wonderful and I am in the process of getting a really nice tan, (my webbed feet are turning back to normal feet now) but some days you just stand there thinking WTF a lot, you have heard every excuse in the world for parking on double yellows/kerb markings/disabled badge bays. Every single day without fail you get the old chestnut of 'get a prooper job, usually from some unemployed layabout swigging super stength lager at 9.30am.

You get told so many times that you are doing your job wrong, you don't know the law etc etc from members of the public and then you get days like today where someone gets upset about a PCN, and hence starts a barrage of abusive and colourful language and death threats (he even carried on being a git when he was talking to the police officer)

We take some real crap, we don't have targets and we aren't on ticket related bonuses, I work with an absolutly fantastic team of people, just a shame about the general parking public (and that includes those that can't actually park in the first place)
