Who does this, & how do you manage? On one hand, I'm glad I did, cause now I have a set amount I need, (although a lil' more's needed) However, now I"m dead tired in the ground, & have my freakin' period:(:-\

I tried...I failed...
I was working 40 hours at my vanilla job and 20 hours on cam when I started...
I probably could've kept doing it but...no lol
Basically the thing that helped me was to establish a pattern of when I worked on cam
and then work as much as I could on my vanilla job off days
I have a vanilla job outside of adult work, but it is basically me being self employed so I can schedule things around each other... It sounds like something like that would be a better fit for you.
Too stressful.I had to intern,Just like a full time job but ,with no pay.i Found it was impossible to be working 40+ hours and then come to camming.so i took 4 months off of to pursue my internship and stop camming till i was done.Kudos to you girls that can manage do it.I cant!
Yeah, well, I work *part time/seasonal..:-[ so I can't say I work 40 hrs..although yesterday I put in 8 I have had more than a very high amt. of stress for awhile, just moved, etc. I think it's doable (maybe) with some part time hours& lower stress level
I think its do able if you working part time hours.
I work as a waitress (and I'm a student). The waitressing job is 2 days a week, saturday night and sunday morning. It's nice because I have a nice cover and explanation for where my money is coming from but, it gets exhausting not really having any days off.
I do this and manage it like a professional, lol! I only cam three hours, four nights a week for extra income. If I had a busy week/month at my main job than I don't cam as much. I mean, who wouldn't love an extra $2000 a month? It's nice to have the best of both worlds!
I think unless my vanilla job paid as much as camming, I'd skip it..
Where I live, high paid jobs (jobs that pay as much as, or more than camming), are NOT by any means a common thing even when you have qualifications pouring out of your ass... It makes me cringe to think of how many people I know who have academic achievements and Ph.Ds, who can't do a thing with them, and end up in dead-end minimum wage jobs.
It isn't worth the extra hassle of travelling through wind, rain and snow to make less than staying at home for me.
If I had a vanilla job that paid better than camming and was easy to get to, I'd likely juggle both then, yes. :)
I use to do it was tired out of my mind, cause I had one job I was on my feet all day. but it would have been worth it if I could have stick it out, the other job was a call centre job wasn't that challenging and there were times I got calls from customers calling in who called the 1900 number for niteflirt and would be complaining about the charges I got a chuckle out of it because that was what I was working at home at the time.
working a vanilla job with a steady pay every week is nice but you also don't want to set yourself to be spread to thin and get burned out quicker.
I currently do this.. I work parttime at a tourist office and end up working some extra days at a restaurant. And ofcourse, cam on MFC and MGF. I would really like to quit my 'vanilla' jobs, but since camming isn't giving me a steady hourly income yet I'm doubting. I do think if I would have more time to spend camming I would get that nice steady income.. :/
So true! I love my "vanilla job" so I never work, I am always playing ;D

Well, honestly, I DESPISE my reg. job..the other night I got bitched out for an insignificant thing..my attitude, which I keep great there, not to mention I get lots of compliments from the custies.
I'm sick right now, eh, I'll just stop now:'(
Back to my regularly scheduled thread..I am going to get a job in a tanning salon there's tons of 'em nearby for part time. Just something else to 'hold it down' while I cam..I do not need to be driving as far as I do to make shit $ & get bitched out for no good reason.
I do this. I own my own business so I just do it when I feel like it.
I work a vanilla job, I work 12hr shifts, 3 of them and then I cam 12hrs. a week. I also ,have to manage 5 kids at home, I am tired as hell yall!
I started camming when I was working a vanilla job and found it SO HARD. For some reason, I can commit to dance classes, plans, volunteering, events, and even other jobs (like stripping) when I have a vanilla job, but camming? Nope.
I think it is because there is no one else to be accountable to, and it makes it so easy just to say "jee, I'm tired. I'm just going to take the night off".
So I really have very little advice, because I sucked at it, but I can offer support and empathy!
And I will say that it was a really scary leap for me to leave the day job to cam full time, but I am SO happy that I did. If you hate the day job, maybe it's time to leap and have faith that the net will appear.
As of now I'm looking for part time work. Had an interview today at a nursing home for house keeping. I just want part time hours somewhere. Still plan on camming to have some play money and save up for an apartment but I'm waiting for that phone call saying kimberly you can come aboard. lol. then again I could just start camming now. Hoping by the end of this month I have a part time vanilla job.
Also. . any of you ladies ever put camming down or whatever when filling out apps or if your currently looking for something new now do u put it down or not? figure I ask. I really wanna just start camming now..need to make up my mind by end of week. anymore more I'm bored. ;|
Yeah, today my car wouldn't start (it's been sub 0 temps.) & I just called off work..mainly cause they're micromanaging the fuck outta me, & I'm truly sick of it..I do my work, I'm on time, I get good monitoring scores..the other day I suspect someone followed me to the bathroom seriously>:(? + the drive, it's not super far, 12 mi. or so, but for what I make, eh. we'll see I guess.
Thanks for responding everyone.
and that is EXACTLY why I stopped working in a salon. They lost their top earner for 6 years straight out of all the salons due to "micromanaging" and I became a target. I could cam and work in a salon. When they started breathing down my back , I was out. 1) Never did I work for someone else until them 2) I dont respond well to someone "writing me up" when they begged me to come work for them. 3) question me about porn? 4) camming put the salon checks to shame. ( AND DEAR GOD HELP THEM IF MY PHONE WENT OFF AND IT WAS THE SALON ON MY DAYS OFF )
I was 15 miles from work. I also have a kid that does sports and has a social life. I dont need to be stuck in a "vanilla" job where they want me but yet I was not acceptable. When I cut that out my checks soared and my life was not about others, it is only about me.
I admire those that can pull it off.
Luckily when I age out, if I ever do (THANK GOD FOR GRANNY CAMS LOL) I can always go back to buffing some nails and know its decent income but never will I work for someone again.
a co worker use to watch me and he found some items in my past. He knew actual info on me so he knew what to search. He told another girl who told another and it got to the owner that I was shooting porn in the bathroom. Rumors basically. I showed the owner exactly what I did. It was not him who held a grudge but his managers, of course middle aged female whos husband gets off on escorts and porn. A few clients are in the industry as well. One hates me and one loves me, the one who loves me cut her hours to 2 days a week so I was stuck with the hateful one. Not only did they eyeball me but my known adult clients as well. Funny this was brought up bc I just ran into the guy who started the rumor.. the thing is, what he told was true, by the time it got to the owner.. I was shooting porn in a salon bathroom. I hate rumors and gossip mills
