I'm starting school this year so camming is my only source of income right now. Once I get my degree I will probably still cam some until I get more situated financially.Crazydidi said:im realizing that for a lot of cam girls, mfc is their full time job and for me it has become my only source of income.
Do you guys have other jobs, "normal" jobs? If you dont would you consider going back to one?
My first job was at 18 I started working in massage parlors so I made a lot of money, now I started on mfc and honestly I may sound lazy but I cant see myself working 40-45h shifts for minimum wage...

:headbang: exaaaactly, the additional income I generate from camming allows me to do what I genuinely love professionally! Sometimes that has meant working for a pitifully small amount of money to gain valuable experience in an area of my industry that intrigues me, and sometimes that has meant the ability to invest in things like marketing to bring profitable business right to my doorstep (I do small business bookeeping, organizational reform and HR training mostly on a project basis so one week I might work 80 hours and one week I might work 20 hours, it's all over place so it kicks ass to have camming during the slow weeks) Many girls regard their "RL Jobs" as their safety net because camming can be fickle, but at this point I have the opposite perspective - cam income allows me to pursue things professionally that I otherwise wouldn't experience because the associated paycheques wouldn't even cover my wine addiction
I found that camming "full time" still allows for plenty of hours in the day I could use to pursue things I really loved and was interested in.
YES. I can build my business slowly and do it right, rather than having to constantly hustle to keep afloat.julia_grey said:This. Because of camming I can take on unpaid internships, volunteer, and generally get involved in ways that interest me or develop my professional skills, without having to commit to working full time in that field. Amazing.

I won't cam forever, but I will always be hustling for myself, by myself.
This. I've had one normal job and got myself fired (looking back I knew what I was doing so meh).
BluexDakota said:I was a licensed massage therapist before beginning camming working at a high-end spa making great $/hr but you can't ever get a lot of hours doing massage most of the time and when you do, they overwork you. I averaged 20-30% what I make now camming back then and I spent way too much money going to school for it.
I can't see myself ever working at a "normal" job again.
