On that note, I remember seeing a documentary about the porn industry. There was a little panel of people based in (IIRC) Winnipeg. All they did was watch porn movies and then rate them on the sorts of activities contained within. Seemed pretty easy to me, although I can see where the tedium would begin to grate on a person.
I love my job…I work at home and create fun sales training modules in flash. Im my own boss mainly, I work when Im up for it, stop whenever, and use my imagination. Lots of programming challenges, sometimes 3d modelling, doing sound effects, making up music stings, hiring actors/animators sometimes. I have a great team to work with and our product is the best in the industry. Every day is different, no real routine per se.
It does not. (I’ve only worked at Cryptic for a few months, if it’s some reference there…)
My question is why won’t anyone pay me to animate, like the college recruiter said.
It still amazes and delights me that customers of Google Answers are willing to pay me to identify books and movies, to find out what color penguin dung is, and to write humorous verse. If only there were more such customers, this would be my Dream Job.
They need any actual writers? If I hadn’t been late sending in my submission for CoV’s web content editor, maybe I’d be working with you. I didn’t think two weeks was going to be THAT late for a submission, though… I was apparently the only person actually working for NCSoft that they considered.)
I’ve done game writing for free. I loved it. I’d love to do it for money. It’s a lot harder than you might expect if you’ve never done it.
My uncle’s niece’s husband used to get paid to sit at the blackjack tables at a local casino to attract actual paying customers to the dealer.
It’s an in-joke btw me and a college friend who now works at Cryptic. He also happens to be the person who first introduced me to The Straight Dope. I thought I’d check to see if you were him.
Carry on! Sorry for the interruption.
The whole concept of “job interview” is to weed out the people who would be willing to do the job for free. Would you fly on an airplane that hired the guy who would fly it for the fun of it?
That being said, I would say, “Porn Star!”
Working for one of the tabloids you see at the supermarket.
Not the ones about celebs, but the one that has headlines like “Please adopt my pig baby”
and they have a baby with a pig nose badly photoshopped on.
I think it would be a blast to make up those wacky stories.
Do you mean corpses? Because that would not be fun for me at all.
I second Mythbusting. I was thinking that last night as I watched an episode where they dropped Torri off a building into awnings.
After all the years of doing it for free, I still shake my head in amazement that I got paid to sing.
