The first major issue is the fact that camming, or any other self-employed business activity, provides zero 'free' employee benefits i.e. health care, retirement, unemployment insurance, worker's comp insurance etc. If you scrutinize the 'equivalent cash value' of receiving such benefits, it undoubtedly adds up to at least $5 per hour. So from that standpoint, the decision to work as a 'marginal' full time camgirl earning $1000 for 40 hours worth of effort, versus accepting a straight job at $12 an hour that includes employee benefits, is pretty much a toss-up. Of course, finding a $12 an hour job with employee benefits these days isn't as easy as it once was either !
The second major issue is the fact that working as a camgirl will indeed create a 'paper trail' of previous work history in the 'adult industry'. This in turn may have negative future consequences regarding the types, and pay rates, of straight jobs that a retired camgirl may be able to land in the future.

Well if you cam for a company that has affiliates your ID may also get passed around with the content. It is actually required by 18 USC 2257.

I've been camming a little over 6 months and I've already been outed by people (I have no idea who) that saw me on cam and stated personal info about me in my chat room. That's not the issue here though. No one should go into this industry expecting to have their identity kept under wraps because its not realistic.

How do you secure your computer as well? Now adays its so easy to hack things and use ip addresses or location information to find you. Can you give some tips on staying hidden on the internet (for us paranoid cam girls lol)
Re: The Pros and Cons of Camming
What's the point of this thread? You're not even a camgirl. You already stirred up drama in the last thread. This one probably won't be welcomed with open arms if you know what I'm sayin.

Re: The Pros and Cons of Camming
Pros and cons of camming: The entire camming connection section spells it out.
You seemed like you had your mind made up in the last thread that camming wasn't for you. Really though, is there something specific you want to know about camming that we can help you with? I like helping, but I'm not really sure where you want to go with this thread.

haha, true say. for what it's worth I think this Jenny is actually a real chica but this useless cross-post thread designed to revive the conflict of another thread is pointless. I needed to post something in order to lock this useless thread so thanks for allowing me quote something funny
hope everyone who's out working instead of fighting on the internet is having a wicked $$$$ night
