How many of you have "day" jobs also?

I graduated in 1983 with a BS in Comp Sci and spent the next 15 years in retail sales/management. (that's a whole 'nother story) I left that dead end career in 1998 to work full time with two friends handling the in-house web design for our own adult web hosting company. We ended up selling that business to a non-adult conglomerate who wanted our streaming video infrastructure.

I then took a hiatus from the adult side of the business while taking care of some family obligations (mother & grandmother in poor health).

I got back into the biz about 2 years ago, lots of changes! Some of what I knew was still useful, and the programming background is handy, but I pretty much started over from scratch.

I work twice the hours I did while in retail, but when it's for yourself it doesn't seem to matter.

That's so funny. I did 1 year of BS in Comp Sci before switching to BComm with Data Processing as my major but I too worked Retail Management for 8 years before going full time in this biz. Never worked in the computer field even one day

I lost a network engineers position in Manhattan 6 months after 9/11 and have been in retail management since (another story there) but am fortunate that I can make my schedule to suite me so I can spend quite a bit of time working my porn biz.
I am hoping to be totally doing this within 2 years but agree with DocHolly. I make a lot of money at the retail job, and computer consulting and porn are about half right now. So I'm still plugging along.

I am trained as an accountant but I stay at home and look after the kiddies while wifey goes to work. I decided to go back to school and take web programming and I am just finishing up a diploma in that. I do non-adult web design and programming when I can get it.

That's my story and I am sticking to it.
