    Default Oh, Shugs!

    I've been offered to do porn twice, and turned it down both times. Although, I start to think that it might actually be my calling.

    What is the biggest job opportunity you've let slip pass your fingers?

    None, because I'm not a dummy like you are.

    I almost let my current job slip through my fingers, though. They said they'd call me to let me know and instead they emailed me and my phone wasn't syncing with email for two days so I missed it. When I finally checked my email and saw a message from them offering me the job from two days prior, my heart sank. But I called them back and it all worked out, so yay!

    I think this thread was just a way for you to tell us that you've been offered jobs in porn.

    None. Except that one time my old job offered me a spot. No thanks, just want the reference, no more touching people's meat for me.

    I had some pretty good job opportunities coming out of law school at certain health insurance companies and firms, due to strong connections with them. But I thought about doing that sort of work for any significant length of time and felt like poking myself in the eye with a sharp stick.

    Otherwise, I've accepted every major offer that I've been given. (including porn)

    If I had gone to college near Disneyland and continued to work there, I'd be about a year and a half away from being able to retire with a permanent free pass to any Disney park in the world (except Tokyo). Dammit.

    I can't think of anything that I would have enjoyed. I remember that some girl I knew offered me a game testing position, but i decided that would like to still enjoy video games.

    None; I've never turned down a job offer unless it was actually much worse than the alternative. (This doesn't happen very often in my field of work where everything is bad.)

    In all my working class days, which equates to about 6 years, I have been offered 4 jobs, and I have taken them all. I have turned down interviews, but never actual jobs where my position would be confirmed.

    Although, with porn I don't think the position is ever confirmed. amirite?

    Actually now that I think about it, I think this is how it went down with me as well.

    I've turned down a couple of second interviews because I had better interviews lined up. Dunno if I've turned down an actual job offer.

    I've never turned down a job. I'm a job whore.

    Except when I did sales for DirecTV for like 3 days and decided that -just- working off commission ain't gonna cut it and bailed.

    But hey... If Farrah Abraham can do pr0n for 1.5 mill, you can do it too.


    ERRBODY GOTTA PRICE.
