before you take the plunge, in my opinion and i always have one, you have to make sure that you are able to replace the 40 hour $$ and that it covers your bills.

I'd say if you are making in adult 75% of what you make 9-5 you can probably safely make the transistion, since the other 25% would be your savings from transportation, clothing, lunch etc..

having multiple streams of revenue so that if one goes bad, you have replacement. Nothing is secure anymore.. look at the scramble with the 2257s.

I have a few day jobs that i hop back and forth from. In the summer I fight forest fires here in BC. Fire season is starting soon. I do some odd contract forestry work here and there. Used to do this full time but got tired of it and did not like the direction that a career as a professional forester was going to take me. So I have been slowly phasing it out. Still addicted to the Fire Fighting though.

I also do contract interior painting. Its kinda grunt labour, but i do sort of enjoy it. I got a good eye for color and a very steady hand (never use masking tape) and am able to cater to mainly higher end home owners.

In the winters after making a bunch of money fire fighting i do some day trading in the stock markets online. Except this past winter, did not make enough extra cash last year and after tripling my capital the winter before I ended up loosing it all within a two month period. ouch!! Stay away from OTCBB pennie stocks, most of them are a scam. Will be getting back into the markets this coming winter though.

I was pushed into porn not long after 9/11. Losing my job had nothing to do 9/11, but I don't recall which year that was and I just remember being on strike during that time. It may have been the following year when I started playing with my first site. I don't know. My memory is shit. I've had a couple of short-lived jobs since then, but my preference is sitting on my ever-expanding buttocks and slowly filtering pornographic materials. I'm fortunate enough to have a very patient and understanding wife with a good income. Otherwise I'd be in big trouble.

I ended up doing this full time for about 9 months last year when the company I worked for went out of business. It was the first time I'd ever been without a job since I was 15.

It was nice for awhile because of us moving to Florida & then there was a lot of family stuff going on. After we were done with the hurricanes, I went absolutely stir crazy.

I use to think that it would be cool to work this full time like Torn, there is no way. I can't stand it. I need to get out. I need to work out side of the house, with other peoples. The health insurance & benefits are also huge plus.
