I had a question and it was resolved, thank you.
I would think having camming experience would be an asset to a psychiatric career.
In my experience, camming IS a form of being a therapist, as I've also run into some of the most mentally disturbed people on the planet.
Quote:
Is there a background check when you get your licence, and would I be prevented from getting one if my past should come up in a background check?
Indeed there is an in-depth background check conducted when you apply for a 'high level' state professional license ... with 'high level' meaning MD, RN, teacher, engineer, attorney, etc. Because camming and/or exotic dancing is not illegal, having a work history involving adult entertainment being discovered during the background check will not prevent you from being granted a professional license if you are otherwise qualified.
However, prospective professional employers may take issue with your adult entertainment work history ... meaning that you might not be hired by a high profile state hospital, but instead offered a job at a state prison hospital ! Much will depend on the future 'supply and demand' situation regarding available professional job openings versus number of qualified applicants which exists a few years down the road.
Just become a sex therapist and use your cam fame for sex therapy marketing.
It is a risk and you will see different opinions on this site, some say it can come up and some say it doesn't.
I have done some work in mental health and I prefer to err on the side of caution. This is why I do not cam, even though I wanted to.
Even if you cam and it comes up in a background check and you get the job, it's certainly not something you want your coworkers finding out about. Healthcare workers shouldn't judge others, but they often do.
I just had a friend tell me that in a job interview, they asked him to find dirty on the others applying for the job on social media. He got 3 of his competition thrown out of the running for the job based upon the drunken pics they posted from college on their facebook page.
In today's world, it just isn't a background check, it is a social media check too. With camming, stripping or what ever you do there are cameras & it is put all over the web. Take that into consideration for future jobs & careers.

It´s not only camming or sex industry at all. Depending where you live, who you know, where you worked before..There´s a lot of competition and corruption between co-workers, companies, criminals, governments... hard feelings between co-workers, friends, relatives, ex-boy/girlfriends, insecure governments, personal details leaking to others (to private persons, private/government stalkers, welfare officers, envious people, criminals etc.). Even without camming or working adult industry at all, somebody can invent dirty lies and blackmail. So much jealousy, corruption etc.
^^^ that's probably true enough, but aspects which require 'input' from other people really only come into the picture AFTER a person has been hired. On the other hand, in a 'supply and demand' environment where prospective employers have tons of qualified applicants to choose from, those prospective employers are going to look at background information which is available via background check searches. This won't usually involve speaking to other people, but it WILL involve information which can be easily discovered via online / banking system / database searches ...
- work history ... employers consider adult industry work to be possible evidence of questionable 'morals' and / or 'ethics'
- credit rating checks ... employers consider a poor credit rating to be possible evidence of personal 'irresponsibility'
- social media checks ... employers consider controversial content to be possible evidence of just about anything
In all cases where the 'supply and demand' environment allows a prospective employer to pick and choose which applicant to hire, those employers are going to go to great lengths to try and minimize the possibility that a new employee might create 'problems' for the employer. Where former adult industry workers are concerned, the employer will perceive a higher risk of employee lawsuits based on sexual harassment, 'hostile workplace', unequal treatment, etc. ... with the origin of those employee lawsuits more likely coming from other employees as opposed to the ex-dancer / ex-camgirl herself. Also, where former adult industry workers are concerned, the employer also risks potential reputational damage if the ex-dancer / ex-camgirl employee were to be publicly 'outed'.
Ironically, adult industry work history aside, female employees who are 'too beautiful' can be a problem source for the employer based on reactions of fellow employees ... from being a simple workplace distraction, to unsubstantiated claims by other employees of inappropriate 'relations' with the boss that must nonetheless be investigated ...
Only you can decide at the end of the day. You are 18 you have no idea which way your life will go.
You can use a fake name, we all do. Can't fake your face... your body... your voice... your personality ....
You are just 18 & how many pics of you already on facebook & other social media. This is a job where you have to talk, show face, show body, it isn't a matter of just having a fake name. No girl gets into camming & NOT have her family, friends & such find out. It is the WWW as in World Wide Web.
Face recognition. Someone you went to school with, dated will recognize you & tell the world. You act everyone you know doesn't watch cams or porn. Geo blocking is a lie, when cam sites & guys record the shows & put them up on tubesites & file sharing sites. You have no idea how pervs will search you out to out you to the world, they think of it as their mission to do so.
What wife is going to let her husband go to a former whore? Strong word yes, but it is reality of who people think. What guy will show up & not get creepy & try to fuck you?
Can't make money in porn & not get tainted an outcast of society. Look at KK, her husband during a concert had a guy with a banner of her pic doing the nasty.
