    Only 13 ladies that we know of who were willing to be featured in an article. I would think that if people aren't trying to be outed, then they wouldn't say "hey I used to be a sex-worker and look at me, now I teach school. Put me in an article". That sort of defeats the point.

    I think this is going overboard a little. As a poster mentioned, most cam girls are just average people and aren't going to be found out by anyone, or at least not anyone that could control their future. From what I can tell, this site does have serious professional adult models and performers. The higher profile performer you are, obviously the more people can find you.

    Take the average person camming. They use a fake name, fake screen name and dress up to hide their identity. Even a search for their real name will come up with no leads to their cam life.

    As for the employer finding out a previous employer through a search. I have no idea how cam sites register information. There are ways, if a site turns a person in for tax purposes, for people to be found out based on their social. However, where I work, I must pay my own taxes and I don't even get any tax forms at the end of the year. They don't know my social. When I do pay my taxes, I just say that I'm a free lance performer. Which isn't a lie.

    I am finishing my Master's degree this year. I will be working at a chemist and I have put in many applications for very high profile companies. I have had interviews and not once did they mention a background check other than obtaining a criminal record. This includes DOW and a couple pharmaceutical companies. Right now, I work for a water testing facility as a contractor however we do obtain grants from the state. Never has anyone said anything. Actually, one of my co workers used to be a stripper at a local club when she was 19 and everyone knows.

    I also have worked as a substitute teacher and I put on my application my previous employment at a local adult book store. It is a retail only store and the community tolerates it well. I did have one problem. One time I was hired at a job for the summer which I had to work with school kids and scouts by teaching them about nature. One lady, a very over the top religious nut pitched a fit about hiring me due to me having the past adult bookstore job. But the rest of the management team had no problem so I got more "yes" votes than "no" and was hired. But the lady who judged me ended up realizing that I wasn't what she thought, and when she found out that I was intelligent she forgot about it.

    So I would say that YES if you put yourself out there, on your own website, not trying to hide your identity, making movies or telling people your real name or talking about it on your actual facebook page or other social networking site then yes, it could be a problem. I wouldn't worry about being a nurse. I seem to attract a lot of nursing friends and I have been told that they are pretty relaxed about who they hire, especially in places like nursing homes. When I started my Master's program I got rid of all social networking sites because employers search for them, and that's a FACT. Even having a facebook can cause an employer to not hire you. One of my professors for a preparation class also works in human resources and she told me it happens all the time.

    ^^^^location is a HUGE factor in considering the future implications of adult work. If I lived in a smallish conservative community in North America I suspect a background in camming would decrease my chances of getting a good job in ANY field, were I open to disclosing that past experience.

    In my case, my employer knows that I cam. I was camming when I got the job and I disclosed it in my final interview. I DO NOT discuss camming with any of my peers because it doesn't feel appropriate but several are aware of what I do. I happen to work for a left-wing organization in a fairly liberal large city, and each of these is a factor in the absence of stigma I encounter.

    Particularly for younger cammers who intend to eventually leave adult work for a position in a vanilla field, doing volunteer work (as well as being in school) helps 'fill up' a resume and adds additional items for an employer to focus upon. In alot of jobs (the exceptions being those involving work with children) an employer will be more concerned with our tangible skills and education than with the specifics of our job history, and volunteer work is an excellent way to demonstrate to a potential employer exactly what capabilities we will bring to the job. Volunteer work also provides additional reference resources. Here I'll underscore the importance of what MistressSadist wrote- appearing professional (as in no personal facebook full of booby shots and flame wars) is much more important than one's previous job titles.

    An obvious exception to all of the above would be any position that involves a "morals clause" but in general if you live in a large 'blue state' city a history of camming won't neccessarily threaten your future, even if a potential employer is aware of that history

    I'm a newbie, but i wanted to put my two cents in regarding this thread. From what I've been able to ascertain, most companies 1099 you which (I think) makes you an independent contractor. That does not show up on your credit report, ever. When ever you are applying for a job, that employer may do a soft credit check and criminal background check. The only companies that you may have worked for that they would check out are the ones that you list on your application under "previous employers". I might be wrong about this but I think I am correct. You are considered a self employed individual when you work for these companies. Now, if you do have to provide a SS# and they do any kind of reporting, the names of the companies are not going to show up as "adult webcam" etc. They would be total benign names and unless you have to pass a government background test, you should be totally o.k.

    Bottom line is that what I've been discovering about most cam companies is that you DO have to give them your real name and in most cases you probably WILL have to give them your SS#.

    It doesn't mean that that will tell the world based on your credit report the nature of the work you were doing.

    If anyone disagrees with me on any of the points I've touched upon, please let me know as I am in the beginning phases of this industry. Thanks all.

    I know for a fact the site I work for does NOT ask for social security numbers. And, they suggest using your past pay stubs to turn in your earnings on your taxes. They do not send out a 1099 either. I do turn it in, but I just say I'm a free lance entertainer. The IRS doesn't care.

    About credit report, I am one of those folks who checks their report once a year via the government website which allows, by law, Americans to check their report for inaccuracies. I also, upon occasion purchase my report to check my score and see if it's going up/down. I have done a ton of research on credit reports and creditors and what counts/doesn't count, what lowers it and what can increase it.

    Come to think of it, a couple employers are listed on my report. And, if you see at the bottom of my page, you'll see why. A company who checks your credit report is looking to see if you pay your bills because paying bills = personal responsibility to them. It's not fair, but that's a whole other subject. What is on there are any loans you have had, who they are with, when you made payment, etc? Credit cards and their payment history and anything you defaulted on will obviously be on there including medical bills and other household bills who happened to turn you in to collections. If anyone has any questions about credit reports/how to increase your score I'd be happy to help.

    The only agency that I know that can actually see your past employers via your social security number are those who issue welfare services and child support offices and various other governmental offices. I have had to apply for food stamps in my past and now, it's VERY hard to lie about how much money you make. They were asking me if I worked at XXX place, which was an old employer from earlier that year. It was not written on my application! They also had my husband's employer AND what we both made at each place. So, maybe a government job might check that, but doubtful.

    An employer can check for any criminal record as that's public domain as well as your taxes, if they choose. But I think that goes without saying. And just to say one more thing, I have willfully omitted past employment on my current resume. My college adviser helps his students write a professional resume, and he instructed me what previous employment was important and what is just an annoyance. The resume, according to most, must be no more than one page or TWO if you happen to have an incredibly impressive CV. Many companies look at the resume, if they like it, they discuss what you can bring to the table. They are interested in your skills/what you did in school or if you won awards or if you did any research on your own, etc. At least, in my field. So, obviously omitting previous jobs that don't matter to the career field at hand is not an issue and happens all the time. Nobody has gotten fired. If you are a professional for a company/corporation, and you hold a bachelors or higher, they more than likely aren't going to care if you were a stripper or an escort or shook it on cam for money. Unless you work for one of those Christian companies like Chic Fil A, Forever 21 or the Christian Broadcasting Network, etc.

    UPDATE:
    Experian had this to say: "Employers don’t report job histories to Experian or the other national credit reporting companies.

    In fact, the employer listing on a credit report is not an employment history at all. Rather, the employers shown in your credit report are provided by your lenders when they first report the information from your credit application.

    Because the employer listing is updated only when you apply for new credit and is not provided to Experian in all cases, it is not meant to be an employment history. The employer listing does not affect credit scores or play a direct role in the lending process. For example, it likely would have no bearing at all in an automated credit application process." http://www.experian.com/ask-experian...it-report.html

    So, in effect, job listings on your credit report are based on what YOU provide when you sign up for a loan or credit card Good news huh.

    ^^ good for you pink! I just started a part time sales job a few months ago, and when I gave them my info== Work history, including private party dancing, and my camming info, My boss didn't even bat an eye.
    The reason he didn't even react was maybe because I live in a city where guys are allowed to jack-off in front of You on the street and in the subway! LOL!
    I have a strong sales background from my corporate job in the past, so that could be it also.

    I never understood why anyone would want to be a teacher.

    Porn career is NOT the end of the world. Used to be if you did porn you worked for companies & didn't develop an entrepreneur attitude. Now, days due to many of them gone under & lack of paid gigs we all have had to get on the ball & become entrepreneurs. That spirit once developed keeps on reaching for new horizons.

    It isn't an obstacle to over come but a building block for future endeavors. Now, always play it smart, don't go and pay for an advance education in a job you know due to the porn/camming past you can't get hired in. You can build many skills while doing this job, I love doing set designs, makeup, creative writing, lighting, editing, internet marketing & such. Which are all skills that work well in many different areas for my future no matter what it might be.

    There are ALWAYS consequences for any job or career you might want to do, such is life.

    Porn/camming or whatever has a stigma that is slowly disappearing. Girls & guys in this career choice that play victim because they tried to get a job at a school & such have no pity from me at all.

    Good Luck,
    Sam

    I've been camming and doing paid phone sex work off and on since 2008 and I was hired to work with children after a very extensive background check and interview for a 3 month gig. I love kids, some people just like working with them. My mom wanted me to be a teacher or a daycare owner, etc. It's something I'm good at, but never really wanted to do. Thankfully, I can just be an entrepreneur and make my own money doing what I love in my own business after cam is over. I hope you ladies strive to do what you want. Sometime in the future it won't matter "what you used to do". Good luck in all your endeavors.

    So a job as an esthetician (person who gives facials in spas) *cue sex joke here* and a real estate agent job would be fine I'm guessing?

    Sounds fine to me. I mean, a lot of "spas" already have some stigmas lol. If not, open your OWN spa and start your OWN real estate firm. That way, you can be the boss. I don't think adult work will stop anyone from getting a real estate license.
