The other morning someone sent over a job opportunity for a production / administrative assistant at a prominent adult entertainment company. Before passing it on to people, it got me thinking: do I potentially want to be responsible for launching someone's career in porn? Going from my own experience, I started thinking about the pros and cons of working in porn.
Whether you’re looking for a loan or to pay with cash, look at your budget and determine the maximum you can spend. It is important to determine this price or monthly payment before even researching or getting ready to buy. It’s easy to see different models or more features and think the price in manageable in the heat of the moment. Be honest with yourself about what you can afford, as much as your car is a statement as to who you are and your style, most importantly it’s a tool and a big financial commitment.
Buying a car is one of the more stressful purchases you have to make in your life, but there are some things you can do to help simplify the process. My favorite tools when it comes to car buying are: AutoTrader, Cars.com, Edmunds, Kelly Blue Book and Carfax and I'll explain why. To start, in my opinion there are three categories of cars: new, certified pre-owned, and used. Each of these has their advantages and disadvantages when buying.
Credit card debt is a reality for a lot of people. I feel like it’s almost a little more common when it comes to people in the entertainment industry. Many people when the first start out end up having to put a lot on credit whether it be relocation expenses, personally funding productions or just plain living expenses between jobs. No matter how you go it, paying the minimum with a likely 18 to 20 percent interest rate can be downright depressing.
The first step is admitting you’ve got a problem and it turns out that I probably do. Okay that may sound like latent denial but let’s just say I’m making my confession with some caveats. Bums, I am a deal addict. My inbox is filled with coupons, freebies, and deals of the day. It’s gotten so bad so that I need to clean it out several times a day. There’s nothing wrong with saving money (in fact, it’s a very good thing) but there comes a point you need to assess whether your addiction is helping or hurting you. Someone should profit off of my silliness, so read on for tips for the prospective deal-buyer.
One of the frustrating aspects of the job hunt is not knowing why you didn't get the call-back. Sometimes you sit there and think "I'm wonderful! Why does no one want to talk to me about it?" Of course, this is an unanswerable question; but, if the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results, then maybe sending out the same resume is insane. Could changing your resume style help you land an interview?
Ask a 20-something year-old about their living situation, and if they sigh in a manner reminiscent of the Bart Simpson phrase “I never thought it was humanly possible, but this both sucks and blows,” it’s a good indication that they still might be living at home. While it is accepted that certain life circumstances can lead to this situation, our capacity to intelligently and rationally understand this does not necessarily correlate with our emotional and psychological understanding. There is still the matter of the hurt ego, the feelings of shame, and the social stigma. Additionally, there may be a feeling of regressing to old patterns with the parents. In order to alleviate some of these anxiety producing thoughts, consider the following.
