Go To Porn, Young Dot Commer

from the career-changes dept

People are getting laid off from dot coms by the thousands, and yet unemployement is staying quite low. Where are all these dot commers going? It seems that porn companies are suddenly getting a lot of resumes from laid off dot commers. The porn companies are still raking in the cash, so the pay checks are less likely to bounce. Apparently, us young folks today are quite comfortable with porn and don’t think working in the porn industry has as bad a stigma as it used to. Of course, that didn’t stop one of the guys interviewed from admitting that he hasn’t told his parents where he works now. Update: Despite what the original article here said (saying that porn is a recession proof business), here’s an article saying that the economic downturn is hitting porn sites as well. Traffic is down and people are cancelling their memberships.
