Re: Goodbye
Yeah, but Kimber is Kimber. If I were going through this two years from now, and was an established name, rather than someone who has had a strong debut and shows promise but is still climbing the ladder, then I could see maybe making the transition you speak of. But when I hear the words "not the same kind of money" and look at what my adult industry earnings thus far have been, it makes me doubt that making such a transition would be worth it lol. I hope no one takes this as me ragging on the industry -- I do feel it's been good to me -- but I was definitely still in the "paying my dues" phase of my career when it came to earnings.

Re: Goodbye
In tranny porn, inability to produce a cumshot is generally an immediate pay cut and sufficient cause to not get you invited for further shoots, so I'm not sure how this wouldn't be a deal breaker.
As for alternative options, I may be smart and educated, but I'm nearly 30, have no professional work experience, or even the threads with which to weave the kind of narrative you need to tell an HR manager in order to get hired at the entry level. Furthermore, jobs at the bottom of the wage scale seem even less inclined to hire me, having been rejected by such prestigious firms as McDonald's, Target, and Safeway. The bottom line is that I don't have anywhere to go, and as my mood cycles yet again into another long-term depressive episode, I frankly don't have sufficient hope of my life ever getting better to continue to be patient about things.

Re: Goodbye
The part about being almost 30 and not knowing what to do with yourself is a familiar tale for sure.
Look, the first thing you need to do is concentrate on getting better. It's only once you can think clearly that you will be able to work things out
I've lost my job at a time when I was thousands upon thousands in debt, I went to go get food and card declined as the bank had hit me with charges, I had literally nothing and resorted to selling everything, TV, computer, phone, CLOTHES just to get food! Behind in my rent by weeks and dodging the landlord hoping not to see an eviction notice. Family and friends turned their back on me it was just me on my own, miserable, truth be told scared to death, but at some stage I had to decide to either just give up or stand up.
Sadly Miranda, this is life, and you are the only one who can help you.
I figured things out, got a student loan and government handouts, more debt to be sure but I was happy at college even as an older student, and came out of it in the end with a good job, career plan and dug myself out of debt and into a comfortable life.
I can tell by your posts, you are a lot smarter than I am, and would have a lot more options open to you, and if I can do it, you can too, you just need to find the conviction to get yourself out of this.
I'm not typing this to have a go at you, but I believe in you, and I don't even know you but I genuinely do belive in you.

Re: Goodbye
Glad you are here Miranda. Have you thought about going back to School? 30 is not that old, and you may find something that interest you.

Re: Goodbye
Nah, I had defaulted on a Department of Education loan so I am henceforth ineligible for financial aid which depends upon a FAFSA, i.e. all financial aid, so the notion of going to grad school as a means to get a professional career started is out. And as a transsexual, I am de facto disqualified from nearly all work to begin with, so the notion that I can pinch and save at the bottom of the wage scale, and gradually work my way out of the hole I'm in is similarly unrealistic. Porn and escorting was the way out, but that's no longer possible. And this is all assuming that I can ever break free from the mood cycling which has characterized my entire life and which ensure that every 1-2 years I fall completely apart and lose whatever meager progress I had made in the preceding 1-2 years of functional behavior in a limited subset of the axes (vocational, educational, social, spiritual, etc.) which make up one's life.

Re: Goodbye
I know how to write a targeted cover letter and resume designed to get me called into an interview. Likewise, I comport myself exceptionally well in interviews. Not knowing the fundamentals of job hunting and selling your marketable skills is NOT the issue.
I never had trouble getting work before I went full time.

Re: Goodbye
Just woken up to news which truly gladdens my heart; with all of the issues still to deal with, nevertheless, you're still with us, Miranda.
