Camming and RL careers

[ninaxox]

This is my first post on here so Hiiiiii! I'm Nina, from Australia and I have been on MFC for a month now

My question is essentially about careers outside of the camming world. I am at uni and I guess I have always thought of camming as a temporary thing. I love it, and it is so much more than an income to me but I am super passionate about a career in engineering and ultimately that's my personal goal. To the cam girls in here, do you have a career goal outside of camming?
And to the non cammers, some of which I assume have professional jobs, possibly in the field I want to get into, would you hire a girl who cams? if her CV is otherwise very impressive? Why? Why not?

As an engineer skills and intelligence matter, I would have no problem hiring you. Camming should be of little concern to your future. Having said that any boss would exclude a potentially disruptive background when hiring someone, so work hard on your goals, camming could be a barrier.

I did notice law study in your profile, advanced paths in this area would be closed to you if you cam as it is conservative and peer reviewed, especially with british/ australian law.

I'm an engineering student as well! I make sure to just do internships in the summer and such as well. I also applied for a part time tech support position that starts in April just so I don't look like I just fucked around doing nothing for years(interview is Thursday, so wish me luck. The pay is $10 above minimum wage where I live).

I highly doubt camming is going to keep me from getting hired when I get my degree because I'm not famous or popular, and I don't put in the 6-12 hours a day that it takes to get to that point.

I would just look into getting a part time job if you can handle it or do summer internships(which you really should be doing already if you're going into engineering). I've been doing tech support positions for the last three or so years. They steal your soul and cause your faith in humanity to dwindle, but they pay well and look good on a resume.

As a former engineering manager at Fortune 50 tech company, knowing what I know now about camming. I don't think it would be a big barrier. I suspect it might have been an issue for some of my colleagues, specifically for some of the female managers. It probably would be less of an issue for smaller firms than a larger firms. If you leave it off your resume/CV or worse lie and say you worked someplace and it is discovered,you will be in for some teasing/gossip best case, and possible firing worse case. I think it is far more understandable doing part time to help put yourself through school than as a job out of Uni.

If you're in petroleum engineering...switch majors fast.

LOL well if she is a senior it is too late to switch and if she a freshman, who knows in 3 years oil maybe $150/barrel. It is one of the highest paid engineering jobs out there.

Half my lifetime ago, but my degree was in engineering (electrical and electronic, with a lot of computer systems) :study: , although my work is in software. Were I hiring (hypothetically, as it's not my company and the last thing I want to be is management / director level) it absolutely would not bother me if someone worked on a camsite. Not because it would be hypocritical of me as a visitor to MFC, but because it would have no bearing on their ability to do the work. I would discourage them from doing "naked in the office" shows on company time though

Wouldn't have a problem hiring a girl who's cammed - but given you're a student why should I even be told? Nothing against honesty, but it's not something I'd need to know.
I always put my years at Uni down as part of education and only mentioned part time jobs if it had value towards the role I was applying.

Of course if you had a degree and then cammed for 2 years afterwards I may be asking what you did for 2 years to explain gaps in the CV. The reason for that would be simple - concern would be why you didn't find employment in your "dream" path for 2 years - why?
At that point being told about camming would be relevant - it pays the bills (possibly very well indeed). Nothing wrong with that.

I'm a junior, and it's chemical engineering. I have no interest working long hours AWAY from home when I could work long hours near home.

It may be a problem, I highly doubt the members of this site are going to have any problem with somone who cammed due the nature of the forum itself. The corporate world however can be quite conservative so it may be an issue to some people but I think most people wouldnt really care.

I would just say that you dont even need to mention it, since your still at uni you can mention any relevant work experience and leave the camming off your CV or if you want to put something on there just be vague and say you did some modelling, they dont need to know exactly what type of modelling.

I'm assuming also that Nina is not your real name so if someone did recognise you then you could always play dumb and just pretend its someone who looks like you.

My goal was (is?) to be a clinical psychologist, but right now I'm considering a lot of options because I'm less interested in conducting research and it's...a lot of research on the way. The other things I'm considering are counselling psychology and occupational therapy, mostly I want to work closely with people. Either way I hope to work in the field of psychology as that's what I find most interesting! Unless of course I can become a comic book writer :lol: that would be the real dream.

I agree with Fandango though that members here are pretty relaxed about camming, I probably wouldn't be open about it unless you plan to be open to everyone, forever, and you really think that it would help with the position you're looking for. But like Sayda said between school and volunteering/interning/etc, you probably won't have a resume gap that needs explaining anyways!

One thing to keep in mind once you go into a non-sex-work career later on: if your coworkers (and even managers) learn about your camming experience and start causing a problem because of it, they are quite breaking the company's policies on unlawful and/or sexual harassment and can be dealt with by HR.

I would also suggest trying to find some folks that work in HR in any industry in Australia, as this is likely an issue that they are familiar with (or at least had to think about/were taught about) since parts of Australia have had legal sex work for quite a while (wikipedia tells me since 1979 in New South Wales), so situations like these must have happened before.

I am a senior at Uni and I have been so stressed out about this until recently. Camming/sexwork is not the end of the world or your career like I used to think. Now I'm just like "whatever...plenty of doctors have danced their way to where they are." I think as long as you are still in uni it's okay if you have work history gaps because school is your work...but still try to get in some research/undergrad exp related to what you are trying to do, even if it is just for a year since it is relevant to what you are trying to do. I don't think it's necessary to put cam on your cv since it's seen as a side job to the academic world.

Now when you get out of school and to have gaps...that may look kind of bad. It's really up to you if this ever happens on whether or not you should be honest about the employment gap...I am still trying to figure this one out myself.


Good luck in school Hun! And whatever happens...remember it's not the end of the world.

Good luck to you if you're counting on "the law" or HR to keep coworkers from snickering at you behind your back. Chances are you won't ever be be found out if you're careful, it could be embarrassing.

Where I live, HR departments need to be all over this, because if someone feels they can't work due to harassment from co-workers creating a hhostile work environment and the employer does nothing to stop it (e.g. by punishing, demoting etc the people responsible), then they can end up in front of an employment tribunal and paying out tens of thousands for constructive dismissal.

I think that is only the case for a MegaCorp or the government in the US. There is a difference between snickering behind your back and harassment. Not to mention unless the models was upfront about her camming career, it is probably easier to fire the model for lying on her resume than anything else.

I am actually using camming as a way to pay for vet school.

Why would they be lying?
