Okay, the ethics discussion (which I thought was fascinating) raised the
recurring question of whether you'd work in the p0rno industry.
Am I missing out on some untapped job opportunities? Where ARE the tech
writing jobs in p0rno?
Although I'm asking this light-heartedly, it does make me wonder. In these
unstable times, I'm attracted to anything for which the demand will remain
constant. During leaner times, when I was driving a truck for a living,
one of the drivers on our crew was studying to be a corrections officer
(prison guard). When I asked him why, he answered, "Job stability. There's
always gonna be bad guys. Somebody's gotta keep them locked up."
He made a good point. Other than the funeral/undertaking industry, I can
think of few other lines of work with such a guaranteed clientele. And it
seems like mankind's interest in naked people has been pretty
consistent...
So again I ask, where are these jobs where I can bring in my MS Style
Guide, a copy of FrameMaker, and immerse myself in this
clothing-challenged profession (presumably to the sound of wah-wah
guitars)?
