    Default Ladies, Is this your dreamjob?

    A thread yesterday made me think about this question. A lot of you have said you want to cam forever, cam until you can't cam anymore..etc. I understand wanted to milk the industry until you can't anymore. I get that part but I got to thinking the other day. Do you have goals? dreams? outside of the adult industry or is the adult industry pretty much it for you? What are your long term goals? and when you get there would you still cam? I have always thought of camming and escorting as a crutch to get to where I want to be. I have said before that camming is not my dreamjob though I love it. My dreamjob is to run my own boutique and when I get there I would still escort here and there but not cam. With camming, we have our faces plastered everywhere but not with escorting and plus escorting is much more glamorous (to me). I am sure i have been copied and pasted, cut and cropped..etc as a camgirl but no need to give the sites more content of me. I understand a lot of people don't feel the same way...and that's ok.

    It also came up yesterday that most camgirls don't save. Do you save? If not, why? If you do save, HOW do you save?

    I started to help pay for a semester of school. Then I decided to keep going to pay off my student loans. Now it's a quick and enjoyable (to me) way to pay rent. And save up for the next month's rent. And the next. etc.

    When I used to just lurk this forum, I read enough of the Stripper posts to know that you can get burned out, or horrible things can happen, where you just cannot do the job any more. I plan on camming for as long as I can, because I really do love this job - the flexibility, the money, the camaraderie with (most of) my fellow camwhores - but I do save money just in case I need to stop camming.

    As for HOW I save... I pay what needs to be paid first. Rent. Bills. Groceries. When I get paid, I take out of my paycheque the amount of money that will pay the current month's bills and rent, all that money gets put into one of my bank accounts (I have several, just so it's easier to save). Then I'll take one or two or three months worth (however much) out of what I was paid and put that into a savings account - it has to be EXACTLY one or two or three months, so that just by looking at the balance in the account I can see how many months rent I've saved. From whatever is left over, I can buy cam supplies, makeup, etc.

    I don't pay my rent from that savings account though. I pay my rent with the money coming in. My Rent Savings account is only for emergencies. Having a lazy month where I didn't work hard enough to even bring in rent is NOT an emergency.
    When I've saved up a year of rent in advance, THEN I will move on to saving for something else. Like school.

    I have goals related to the adult-industry and then I have goals that are not. I want to finish my degree. I want my camscore to finally go above 7,000 (it was almost there, and then I moved for a few weeks, so it tanked). I'm getting a degree to become a teacher, but so are most people at my university (and it's a big university). At least I know that camming can help me pay for school, and if I don't find a teaching job right away I can continue camming for an income.

    No this is not my dream work. I do pso, camming, and vanilla. Even the vanilla job annoys me at times. I was in school for business management but I would like to go back for interior design. I would like to own my own interior decorating company, and plan on getting in school in the fall, actually.

    I didn't use to save money at all. I use to spend every single penny earned, and didn't have a pot to piss in. Now I am saving money, and cutting monthly expenses by being more frugal. I still splurge every once and a while, but not like I did when I escorted and could make the money back that night or the next day.

    Right now I wrote out a 30 day calendar with all my monthly goals, and I also save every receipt now for every transaction. I would like to see at the end of April exactly how much money I make from all my jobs combined and exactly how much I have spent. I think it will be interesting to see the numbers, and what is on all of those receipts. While I am trying to cut back, I still feel I spend a little too much.

    For me, it really helps to write everything down, and to keep a detailed journal of my daily life and goals. I never really have taken the time to read thru the journals to keep track of what I'm doing. So really excited to see what's going on at the end of April.

    The only reason I entered the camming world was to help pay for my school and hopefully it will get me through med school as well. Without giving away too much about myself, I have a very promising professional career ahead of me and my ultimate goal is to be a physician and medical researcher. I'm on the right track, and this job is just a means to an end, I'm using this money to invest in my future. I think that making being a camgirl my ultimate goal would really be selling myself short, and I wouldn't feel fulfilled. But for other girls if that's their dream, that's great! At least they have one, too many people these days are so uninspired :/

    I like camming but I really liked doing live shows better. I just liked the one on one of it and being able to see the person watching me. I've been looking into doing it again. I really like working in the sex industry. I do think though I will eventually want to be done with it. There is a little spot in me that thinks once I am older I will try to work the cougar angle lmao. I am going to school right now for my bfa in photography and I hope to use this money to help me survive and pay for school and equipment not only for camming but also my photography. I'm in rough times right now and my life is going crazy so I'm already going through anything i have saved, but I do intend to pick myself up, brush myself off and start saving again.

    Actually being a camgirl can be so fun at times. Especially when you make sure to have a positive attitude before logging on. I have had the most interesting conversations ever lol. So for those ladies, and gents who plan to make it their career? I say go for it! I think with the right marketing it can be a job to retire with, if that's what you choose. Staying an affiliate after quitting as a webcam performer is something I would like to do for years to come.

    this is tricky for me, as I just started - only being able to work daytime hours means only about $250 a week right now

    but I started this as a fast way to get back on my feet - I can't really go back to the job I was trained for (fashion has tanked really hard since I finished school, and since that 10 year plan didn't work out, I'm unwilling to work for someone else and give them that control over my future again)

    I want to go to massage school - REAL therapeutic massage - that has lingered in the back of my head for years! Basically I have always wanted to work for myself, and that is the easiest, most enjoyable route for me - I love working with my hands, and I love variety, and massage therapy would give me all of that.

    But I have a real entrepreneurial spirit, so now that I'm camming, I have a whole different set of goals that, if all goes well, I may never leave the adult industry! With all my design training, I can see myself doing many things: already partnered up as a design/tech/media partner in a studio, but I'd love to design apparel (I really miss lingerie design!), I love doing web/graphic design, really there are so many ways I can utilize skills I already have but in the adult industry (which really is fantastic, I love that you kind of HAVE to have a modern/liberal mindset to work in it, cuts out a lot of crap!).

    I've never been able to save much money, mostly due to immaturity I suppose and the fact that I love partying, but being on unemployment really changed that for me - I plan to do pretty much what MissEgo is doing - save up enough money for at least 12 months of expenses (rent, bills, groceries, etc.) and once I have all of that, save up the $2K for massage school and start the basic classes during the day, and continue saving for all the add-on classes so I can get nationally certified, and all the certifications for aromatherapy, pregnancy massage, etc. It's a really fantastic field to be in if you have all the right training and if you don't do one of the $13K programs. And then once I have all of that, I'll continue camming and start building my massage business from the ground up - I have a whole business plan prepared, I just need to get the money to start it up.

    So if you want to be with me
    With these things there’s no telling
    We just have to wait and see
    But I’d rather be working for a paycheck
    Than waiting to win the lottery
    Besides maybe this time is different
    I mean I really think you like me

    Personally, no way I can cam until my last days. I have seen the article about the Grandma that cams. Kudos to her and much much love and props for being successful BUT it's not my thing. I have no problem with ladies that choose to do this for the rest of their life. However, I was under the impression that the majority of the ladies that got into camming or escorting wanted to one day have their own non-adult business/work in corporate America. I must admit, I am a bit closed minded when it comes to such things. I never knew that hustling cam shows was a "dream job". I have always thought that most women wanted more than camming. I was wrong. For those of you that are working your dream jobs, Congratulations! I envy you. Please continue. Awesome posts ladies!

    Key words: DREAM jobs

    I envy anyone who goes to work everyday, and LOVES what they do. I really do. It is really trully hard to find what you want in life, and I believe it is never too late! It took me quite a long time to figure out that I want to be an interior designer. It is not too late for me to get that started.

    My aunt always wanted to be a teacher, and didn't get her masters until she was in her 40's. Everyone was telling her she is too old, and the kids are too little for her to be going back to school. I remember how hard it was for her, and how she had so many haters. Including family, but she hung in there and got what she wanted, and she is an excellent teacher! Teachers don't make a whole lot of money, but she LOVES her job.

    My point is follow your dreams, and do what makes you happy.

    I escorted until I could retire, retired, developed a reasonably normal, long-term relationship, and started my own business (which, I suppose, is my dream job). But I missed sex work. A lot. Like, really, really a lot. So I started camming. It doesn't compete with m relationship, it gives me the release I'm looking for, and it can't destroy my career because I own the company.

    In terms of saving, I outlined what I'd need to set the business up and support myself for a couple of years, then worked like hell until I hit that number. Then I cut my clients off and put the plan into action.

    My goals in life don't involve a job. If someone wants to think I'm sad or pathetic because I don't plan to chain myself to something for 40 hours a week AFTER working in the sex industry, that's cool. I have goals and plans but they sure as hell don't involve working my ass off week after week. Shit, avoiding that is the whole reason I entered this industry.

    When I retire from sex work, I'll be retired. As in spending time with my family and enjoying my life, not starting over in a brand new field as a middle age person surrounded by kids. Fuck that noise.

    I see myself doing that with escorting but not camming and even then I still want to own my own business selling my wedding dresses . To me camming is very stressful. I have never suffered from escort burnout but my cam burnout was BAD! Escorting made me very happy but I got a little too happy and all the sudden forgot everything I learned about saving money. This time around.. I'm going in with a plan!

    I hope everything works out for you.

    @Noa: You ROCK!
    @ MsJess: That is pure awesome!! *sigh* I'm excited for you.

    It can definitely be done. Saving is hard, but having a very specific goal really helps. I gave myself one year to figure out what I was doing and how I'd do it, then I worked on getting smarter about how I managed my money and started saving like crazy. We're all entrepreneurs, ultimately, so if that's a route you'd like to take, you can do it.

    I am going to be a Clinical Psychologist, this is just something that I am trying to do in order to make some money while in school, this and a few at home jobs because my school schedule is so hectic for a 9-5.
    This is not a career or anything long term for me, just something for right now...as soon as I find a company I am comfortable with, I will do it until graduation and then I'm done. It's not something I particularly like (PSO, CAM, etc) for MYSELF...but it does help pay the bills (so I hear). As long as you find an honest company that actually pays you.

    I absolutely love the adult industry and I love sharing with my fellow cam girls and pso's and learning about escorting, sensual massage, etc. I definitely want to do something in the adult industry for the rest of my life because it's fun and will always be around. People are always going to be horny and being naughty will always be fun for me. I am just getting started with my own solo site which I wish I had done sooner but I still have many years of hottness left in me. And even when I'm a grandma I can still do pso, marketing cam sites, behind the scenes adult work, etc. if I don't want to cam or model anymore. I am in school right now for psychology and I hope to at least obtain a Master's in psych. I have an Associate degree right now and am in the Bachelors program. I want to be a therapist and help young girls with eating disorders, mental illness, and now I probably want to be an open-minded, sex=work-friendly therapist for adults, too. I can work for myself in psychology as well as adult work. The sky is the limit when we have dreams and work hard for them.
    I definitely need to work on making more camming and building up a savings account. Thanks for this thread TG and all your responses and tips guys. Keep the replies coming!
    I like naked chicks.

    I love the adult industry I always have. My dream job is being a writer. I may just end up pulling a Belle DJ and write about the adult industry. Hmmm maybe I should start keeping some of the conversations. I also want to write romance and fantasy. I would still cam though. I enjoy it. Ive never enjoyed the whole "slave to the grind" thing. I'm more of a travel the world, live life to the fullest, have adventures type person. I also dont want kids so that frees up some cash, hahaha.

    I want to buy a house with 20+ acres next year, pay the shit off ASAP, live debt free, build windmills on my land, make gardens, hunt, learn carpentry, become completely self sustained, because everytime I open a newspaper I become increasingly anxious to do so.

    @bun

    I think we would probably be very good friends I'd love to retire on a lake house or ranch.....if I can ever find a man who would want to hole up with me and my sass permanently

    So if you want to be with me
    With these things there’s no telling
    We just have to wait and see
    But I’d rather be working for a paycheck
    Than waiting to win the lottery
    Besides maybe this time is different
    I mean I really think you like me
