Yes, camming can mess up a career in the medical field as it is considered "unprofessional conduct." I'd recommend running a search here on the forum as there are probably over 100 threads on it by now.

What you have to remember is, once you open that door and get on cam, spread your legs and shove those dildos from Amazon in... LOL you CANNOT go back. Whether the site you are on tapes it and uses it for promotion to get new sign ups, or some guy does a screen cap of you doing this stuff, once on cam in a compromising position, you have to accept that there is a possibility that it will end up in hands you may not want it to. Now, it may never happen... I have never in over 15 years of camming had someone come up to me and say..."Didn't I see you on...?" Never had a friend/acquaintance out me or give me a hard time, but, not everyone has my life. So, if there are people (whether it may be job related once you graduate, since a lot of jobs DO check the web when hiring) in your life whom you would die if they found out you dabbled in this, you should rethink doing this. This could be another reason why hubby doesn't want you on cam. If he goes to clubs to have fun with lap dances, I am betting his buddies/ co workers may also.. which means, they may also be on the internet on the popular sites such as SM and MFC. Would you be embarrassed if you were doing a public or even group show on MFC and one of his friends happen to SEE you ? What if one of his friends/coworkers bought a show? (and, obviously didn't tell you who they were) Then, you have to think about your kids when they go to school (even if you are not camming anymore, as this stuff lives on forever on the net... LOL) and what if one of their parents recognizes that you were on a porn site doing x,y and z?
If you are comfortable with that, then, by all means, go for it. But, if you fear it may be something that prospective employers, friends, relatives or nosy busybodies may find out about, you might want to think twice.
And, I think I read that right: Your mother or his mother is on your back to "get a job"? Hmmmm...seems to me your plate is FULL raising kids and going to school. She needs to put a sock in it. She already raised her kids, how you raise yours is you and hubbys business.
i know all about taxes. ive taken 3 semsters of accounting classes im also minoring in business administration. i was going to buy some peachtree software so that i could take taxes out my self maybe get a dba and pay them quarterly .. but his job isnt a for sure thing right now n i need reliable money so i thought webcamming would be a great opportunity . So we cant make 200 bucks a day working 3 different website for certain or average 1000 dollars weekly
not only that i have an 8000 dollar hospital bill he doesnt want to pay because he says they dont count against your credit im trying to build my credit to buy a home .
WE can't make anything. I know how much I make, but I'm not you. What YOU make solely relies upon you. Well established camgirls who work their ass off (well over 40 hours a week including marketing) will make bank. Dabblers who work a couple hours a day, no marketing, etc... may make less. Even well established girls have bad days. Even dabblers have good days. You won't know what you'll make until you try, but don't let the new girl period fool you into thinking you'll always make that, and don't be disappointed if you make less.
Not saying don't try, just saying be realistic.
Oh, and keep in mind how unprofessional conduct affects medical fields. I'd recommend this thread: https://www.stripperweb.com/forum/sh...girl-Questions
And Melonie has personally experienced getting fined for unprofessional conduct when renewing her medical license.
Edited: Also, I wouldn't call camming reliable money when just starting out.
I have a back up stock account. I trade stocks every once in a while. so that was my own money plus i need a new laptop classes start next month . and i have 2 kids. I really dont like other people kids to much so that wouldnt be a good job for me lmao!! n yea i should have access to the money im very frugal and like to save and find bargains and i dont spend on silly items n name brands
There are NO guarantees that you will make $100 a day, or even $10 a day. Read some of the threads about how "camming sucks right now". Camming is NOT like a "real job" where you show up, make your money and then you're off. It is not a stable income. If you think your hubbys income or job right now is shaky, it is probably nothing compared to the ups and downs of camming. Also, you would just be starting out. You would need to devote TIME and energy (which, not sure where you will really get having kids and full time school, plus a hubby to entertain) to building up your customer base. Sure, you can work 18 sites a day if that is what you want, but it is NOT a guaranteed income. You just won't know what your potential is until YOU get on cam and work it for a few months. I say a few months only because, sometimes you will get a decent turnout when you have a NEW tag on your profile. Everyone wants to see what the "new girl" can do. It is after that tag wears off that you find out if you can hack it.
The FIRST thing that needs to be done is having hubby on the same page as you are in wanting to do this. If you are off in a room by yourself camming and he is alone or watching the kids, I can imagine he may be boiling if he isn't on board.
Also, when you first posted, you insinuated that hubby made a decent income to support the family, and now, his job is shaky and you need the camming income? That isn't how you presented it to begin with. This was "spending money" for you in the first post I saw. Either way, if you and hubby aren't on the same page, it is going to be a pretty tense household.
Well my kids go to sleep every night like clock work at 9pm then they stay sleep untill 9am n that majority of the time. I told my mom about it n she said she would watch the kids if i needed to work days. N i know how days go did modeling in 2009 and the first few days i didnt make a dime but after that i was making 100 within the first 3 hours just talking n not doing anything dirty but hell i didnt even have toys n i had a 19 dollar cam n slow internet..but i see people mentioning the market has change for web peep shows is this true I do need to get things right with my husband first but if he cant support my decision then that not right because i supported him before marriage wit dumb decisions. but i can get a vanillia job as yall call it but i wanted to see if i could do camming to be my own boss . but i dont want to do it if the money isnt right it aint worth it if i cant bring in at least 700 after taxes every week for sure
I want to take the time to thank all of yall for u feedback this is really gonna help aide in my decision. Ladies yall r great support!! e
Yes, I do think it could.
There is a highly respected poster here, Melonie, who was an RT and got professional misconduct slapped across her license solely due to her camming/stripping career. What that means is that any time someone goes to hire her and checks on her license, they will see that she has this on her "history" making it VERY hard to get a job.
It's completely NOT worth it, based on the information you are providing us. I mean come on.... you're seriously considering risking your marriage AND your future career... for what? The idea of $100 a day.... to have "nice things" and vacation money? Like a previous poster said... $100/day is not even a guarantee... many new models are starting out lately making much less....
First off - I am really happy to see a newer member posting a question and then taking the time to reply to every response.
Other than that - well, I'm not sure that camming is ideal for you. Being full time in school, AND having two babies - do you really think that you will be able to be consistent online every day? A 3mnth old takes up so much time that I am amazed that you are able to be at school full time!!!
Camming has changed. And will change. Many women don't make $100 a day consistently - and you definitely can't rely on that in a couple of hours, or right off the bat. As a side income, it really depends on how consistent you can be, how well versed you are in sales and in fetishes, all the rest of it.
More to the point (as others have said) even if you could make $100 a day, 5 days a week (because few camgirls can work 7days a week)....is risking your marriage and your future career worth $500 a week? I would consider looking into all of the non-adult-industry ways to earn money from home before you went this far if it is THAT big a deal for your husband AND you are in school to get into the medical profession.
I feel like step one would be to have a real, sit down conversation with him. If he earns x amount, and doesn't want you working, then why not work out a budget that covers the amount you need for bills, rent/mortgage, car payments, groceries...and then splits the remainder into savings, spending money for him, and spending money for you? When you have that figure, you can either be happy to have x amount a week to spend, knowing he has the same, or decide that that isn't enough - and then convince him to let you work, and split your earnings 50/50 into his and your fun money funds.
It's becoming quite hard to decipher what you are saying and to follow along with your story on this... he makes good money, he doesn't make good money, the money is not for bills, it is for bills.... but either way....
No, camming is NOTHING like it was back in 2009. Not even close. The game has changed. MANY established models do not even make $1,000 per week. If you search around you can see that easily...

Also the $500 and under webcam earners thread: https://www.stripperweb.com/forum/sh...webcam+earners
I also did a poll based on verified cam girls here and came up with the results that 62.4% of models are making less than $3,000 per month (so less than $1,000 per week), you can see the full results here: http://lifeofacamgirl.com/2013/01/ho...m-models-make/

Given what you are telling us it just seems suuuuuuper unrealistic for you. With a 3 month old you are probably getting up multiple times per night... if hubby works all day that means you likely get up and care for the kids thru the night and all day long... when will you be able to put in sufficient time on cam? Are you going to be a stay at home mom all day long, and then work all night without the support of your husband? When will you sleep? These are things to consider. Two big keys to making money are logging on consistently and being on for long enough periods of time.
I think the root of the problem is that you don't have access to YOUR money (his money is YOUR money once you're married) and now you're backlashing and ordering all this cam girl equipment has gotten his attention and NOW it's time you prove your point by having a really serious conversation with him. Something has got to change with the finances and you need to drop the camming idea. BOTH need to happen to have a happy marriage.
I also do not see the logic in you camming all night with a 3 month old. She/he really sleeps 12 hours straight at 3 months old? You don't have to change diapers or feed your baby? Cause all those little errands that may seem like second nature to you will interrupt your camming time AND your money so once again, camming would be almost pointless as camgirls here said it's about putting in consistent time.
What about phone sex? You wouldn't have to worry about being recorded or being seen by someone BUT your hubby probably wouldn't like that, either. Right now your main job is to take care of your small children and he needs to realize that this is a job that requires 'pay' meaning you need to have access to the money, too. He isn't the only one who should be able to have fun. THIS is what you need to talk to him about not about if he approves of you camming or not.
Marriage counseling, like, yesterday. You two are on completely different pages.
I've been married for four years, camming for over a year. When I started, he and I arrived at the decision together, with full understanding from both parties. I would not have moved forward with it if he had said it wasn't okay with him. Because frankly, it's understandable for a spouse or SO to have an issue with camming. We have never had any issues whatsoever that resulted from me camming, because we discussed it like adults and researched it together. But I see a whole bunch of very problematic things with what you're describing. I'll try to list them off:
- You should not be having to ask him for money as if you are a child. Just in my opinion, because that's what I'm used to, family money is family money. There is no "mine" "yours" or asking permission to access family funds. He may be earning the money, but I assume you contribute something of value to your household, correct? So you earn your keep. Within reason, you shouldn't be having this issue of having to ask for money. Discussing large purchases is different, however.
- It's a problem that he thought you were joking about camming. Does he not take you seriously? He thought you were kidding about something that serious? That indicates that neither of you are communicating well, at all. Clearly, you're not on the same page.
- It's pretty obvious to me that you think camming is no big deal. I get the feeling that you haven't done a whole bunch of research on what you're about to do. Before you ever turn on that cam, you need to think: are you okay with being outed? With having sexually explicit videos of yourself, permanently online? Are you aware that you are in no way guaranteed to make enough money to make it worth doing? Are you aware that you will be paying out taxes for this? Are you willing to undertake these risks for what you describe as basically pocket money?
- While there is also some hypocrisy going on with him going to the strip club ... let's be real here. There is a huge difference between your spouse buying you a lap dance, and your spouse fucking themselves with a rubber dick for a strange man online.
My suggestion? If you want to screw up your marriage more, go ahead and cam for pocket money. I think your actual issue can be fixed if you can get him to treat you like a grown up. So if you want that, go to counseling and see if it helps. Learn to communicate. But don't mess up your marriage more for pocket money. Seriously.
Wait wait wait. You are in school for respiratory therapy, and to be a physician's assistant? I'm sorry, if you are in school working on those things, you would be crazy to start camming for pocket money. You finish your schooling for those things and you will have more than enough pocket money! Why would you mess that up? Jeez. No, woman, do not cam lol. You could screw up your career and your marriage for a possible 100 bucks a day? Come on, now. And his mother suggests that you get a job? Next time she says some shit like that, tell that hag you HAVE a job. Raising your children, running your household, and getting an education to help your family! Tell her to mind her damn business. I would smack that ho, seriously ... lol.
