    Default Make nursing student considering webcam modeling worth it(pics- no nudes)

    Hello everyone, I'm a. 26 year old nursing student who no longer has time to wait tables and the pay is so up and down it's not worth my time. Like really up and down. I need some money as I am supporting myself through school. I want to model- but could I realistically expect to make 300-400+ a week if I worked 25-30 hours a week( willing to work two sites) I have some photos attached- I have lost some muscle but not a lot I am still lean muscular and fit.

    Personality- I'm excellent with people I love interacting and engaging with others, I've been told I'm funny, I'm a compassionate person as well.

    I don't think you should do it. You're handsome wih a great body but still. Nursing school is really really tough work and I would hate for you to put in all that work and not be able to get a job due to webcam modeling. I feel like the money from web camming is chump change in comparison to the employment benefits and money of nursing long term. Those internet pictures never go away...

    There was a recent thread in I think Camming Connection where a girl in a tight financial spot was wanting advice on starting to cam. She was thinking abt going into a child-education field.

    Have you considered stripping or phone-sex operating instead? The reasons for that advice are pretty well spelt-out in the thread so I won't you w/ reading it twice

    I understand what you all are saying, and I am glad I found a place to have questions answered before I jump into anything. So, my next set of questions would be this:
    1. Is it typical for an employer to do an image search or anything to that nature?
    2. How would they ever find out other than an image search.
    3. What do you think the chances are of them searching
    4. What are the methods used to find out if someone has cammed
    And
    5. Is there any steps I can take to make myself electronically anonymous
    (Masking IP, using a ip mixer etc)


    Finally let's hypothetically say I did take the leap- how well are male models paid? If I can't make at least 300-400 a week working 20-25 hours(really hustling hard not dicking off) then it isn't worth it to me.


    Thank you all for your time

    I'm subscribing to this thread since I am also curious as to how future employers might come across these images / videos. I definitely understand that paying taxes on money made from camming can get cam sites to show up on a background check (though I'm curious as to how 'obvious' the nature of these past jobs is - does it say "Streammate.com" on your background check?). But what would prompt an employer to take extra steps to search for incriminating photos or videos? I'm not doubting, just curious and glad that rcm6113 brought these questions up!

    have you thought of becoming a male stripper? I don't think there's a paper trail. I'm in LA and I heard the male strippers here gay or straight do pretty well.

    The paper trail from stripping depends on the particular club; any legit club will ask for ID & SS card. The bigger things to consider are whether the club issues 1099s &/or whether the area you want to dance in requires any kind of licencing.

But what would prompt an employer to take extra steps to search for incriminating photos or videos?
    Under TODAY's 'business as usual' ... the first thing that a nursing school graduate needs to do is apply for a state professional license to practice nursing in her state. Part of that license application will be entries for past work history. Another part of that license application will be the signing of an IRS 4506-T permission form, which allows the state professional licensing agency to access IRS records ... potentially including 1099's ... and via a gov't cross-reference database potentially identify the companies the applicant received payment from ( based on their Payer ID numbers ).

    So a nursing school graduate today essentially has two choices. A. she can report her past adult industry related work to her state professional licensing agency, and have no problems obtaining her professional license. However, because it becomes a matter of public record, her self-reported past adult industry related work history will also be 'shared' with prospective future 'professional' employers. This may not matter at all in regard to nursing jobs at inner city hospitals and clinics, at state prison hospitals, at mines / oil platforms etc. ... but might matter a whole lot regarding nursing jobs with school systems, religious affiliated hospitals, suburban doctors' private practices, etc.

    B. she can choose not to report her past adult industry related work on her professional license application. This in turn leads to another 'fork in the road' depending on how deep of a background check the state professional licensing agency conducts. In the best case they 'miss' the link to adult industry related payment 1099's, approve her license, and no record of adult industry work will be made immediately available to prospective employers. In the worst case they 'find' the link to adult industry related work, and begin to ask '20 questions' ... with the absolute worst case being refusal to grant a license because the applicant 'lied' on her license application.

    But there's also a part B and a half. Even if the applicant is successful in being granted a professional license initially without disclosing an adult industry work history, every 10 years it must be renewed. The renewal process involves a new background check. If that new background check turns up adult work history, not only will current and prospective employers be informed of that fact, but the person may be subject to 'unprofessional conduct' charges leading to fines, community service time, etc. versus ( permanently ) surrendering their professional license. This recently happened to me when the time came to renew my own Respiratory Therapist professional license.

    As mentioned earlier, right now facial recognition software is rapidly expanding beyond Law Enforcement circles into the private sector. Thus for a girl starting college now, but graduating and applying for a professional license 4 years from now, there's really no way to accurately predict whether facial recognition will be added to background checks by state professional licensing agencies, by 'sensitive' prospective employers like school systems, private hospitals, upscale doctor's private practices etc. However, as of four years ago, there were no 1099 reports to worry about from 'foreign' webcam hosts, but obviously now there are.

    Thus my guess is that, as facial recognition software and facial characteristic databases become more widespread ( some states are now 'selling' access to their driver's license databases / photos for this purpose ), facial recognition searches will become increasingly common in the future. And adult related images of camgirls are already likely to wind up all over the internet ... sometimes as the result of the webcam host, sometimes as the result of webcam customers. Thus a potential nursing student needs to consider whether or not she'll be content working at inner city hospitals and clinics, at prison hospitals, in mines / oil platforms etc. as the possible result of her adult webcam activities.

    In regard to the reason why 'sensitive' employers might choose to allow resumes from applicants with an adult work history to 'fall in the waste basket', it's simply a matter of 'better safe than sorry'. Generally speaking, those 'sensitive' employers will have an abundance of applicants because their positions involve better than average pay, and better than average working conditions. Same applies in regard to in-depth background checks being performed on applicants who are good candidates for being hired. Again, generally speaking, those 'sensitive' employers depend on an untarnished 'public image', with an employee having an adult industry work history being publicly 'outed' by a 3rd party tarnishing that 'public image'. In the extreme, situations could potentially develop involving an employee with an adult industry work history that could lead to lawsuits against the 'sensitive' employer ( brought by patients or fellow employees ). So 'sensitive' employers are likely to go to great lengths in regard to pre-employment background checks.

    On the flip side, inner city hospitals and clinics, mines / oil rigs etc. are typically overjoyed to find a qualified 'professional' employee who speaks English as their primary language ... thus an adult industry work history is likely to be a non-factor, or even a plus !!!

    So Melanie, stay away from clubs requiring a 1099? Or any club with a license requirement....even if that does not include a 1099? How about clubs that just require a SS card like in NOLA?

    As for the original poster, I think the points others made are things to really consider. Camming just leaves a lot more opportunity for recognition so it's something to think carefully about. Stripping has always seemed the safest route in my book. Less opportunities to be outted down the road.

    Good luck.

    ^^^ odds are that if a club is asking for a name and SS# they will issue a 1099 at the end of the year ... as US law now requires them to.

    No I don't think you could make that, sorry. It's got nothing to do with looks, just that male webcam models aren't very popular. You realise as well that your customers will be males? The most popular male cammer on my site only makes about $300 per week, and he is on for 5 - 7 hours every day and is an ex porn star. The others i know barely scrape $100. I don't know, maybe i'm wrong, maybe you'll get a huge gay whale (How weird does that sound?!), but i wouldn't advise you giving up your current job for it. Maybe do something else and then cam every now and then to see how you get on?
