I don't want to say I am quitting or even retiring, because I am not taking such drastic measures, but it is time for a career change for me.
I have been dancing/camming/modeling off and on for 10 years, full time for 8 years. Due to this gap in "normal employment history," I am of course terrified/confused, and continue to keep tellig myself that "I am not ready," my usual excuse for not looking for a "normal job" However I am ready, I am just scared. There never will be a "perfect time to quit" working in the adult industry, for me, so I am going to put fourth my very best effort to do so in the next coming weeks. I have not tried to find a "normal job" in 8 years, so I am going to TRY and see what happens. I am not officially retiring because, who knows, I may not find a job for a few months, but I do not want to rely on this industry as much. I simply have no passion anymore, am burnt out, and frankly feel I am not reaching my full potential. Money is not worth my happiness anymore.
I have noticed alot of girls moving forward lately and I wanted to congratulate you and I am certainly curious of where you have taken your life after dancing/camming/etc.
I am trying to focus on a few specific industries where my "modeling experience, sales experience, or internet marketing experience" will help make my transition bit easier, as well as jobs that will be flexible with hours, offer commission/tips/cash daily, and other perks. I am currently looking for commissioned retail jobs/high end retail, hospitality, casino cocktail waitressing, cigar hostess, salon receptionist, barista, etc. I am keeping a very open mind but would prefer a job that I can make tips or commission that is relaxed. Before i worked in adult I had many jobs in customer service, hospitality and retail.If anyone has any experience in these industries and or has sucessfully transitioned out of adult industry into one of these industries and would like to share some insight it would be wonderful.
I am also curious about working as a cocktail server, cashier/hostess, in a stripclub, though I really need a life change and out of the environment, I am open to all opportunities and I think working in a stripclub as anything but a stripper may be good for me as I am familiar with the industry and at the very least would not have to lie on my resume lol.
I am not thrwing in the towel for good but I need a life change and am putting fourth my best effort not to rely on the adult industry for income any more. I know it will be difficult in any of the above industries to make the money I am used to but I have the support of friends, fam etc to help me thru this transition period and I am not worried about taking a pay cut as I am worried about finding a job that I enjoy doing again.
Any insight appreciated ty in advance and happy new year!!!
