Everyone is broke right now. Maybe it's because Bush is sending a hundred billion dollars into Iraq (how many zeroes is that, like, 20?) or maybe it's just because laziness is at an all-time high. The point is, college students need a lot of money and they need it now (especially girls, because they have to buy shoes). The sex industry is a great way to make cash, but sucking dicks in an alleyway is a little too scary. That's where internet porn comes in. Even the girl next door can make a few thousand a month, plus you can gauge exactly how far you want to take it. You can stop at playacting silliness like burningangel.com, where you make essentially no money but get to meet cute boys with tattoos, or you can become a full-on sex worker at sites like camcontacts.com, where you make pretty good money fucking yourself on a live webcam.
Last Saturday (Feb. 28), 500 women showed up at an internet porn casting party to be photographed by Terry Richardson. Some wanted to make money flashing their beavs online, some wanted to be successful nude models, and some just wanted to find out why all their friends were getting into porn. Personally, we think the whole thing is a downer. If you don't do the heavy shit, you're making a mockery of the poor bastards who do, and if you do do the heavy shit, you're a poor bastard. We randomly grabbed some of the girls from Terry's shoot and asked them what they want to be when they grow up. Then we gave them a better suggestion. Here's what they said:

  VICE PICTURESAngela has wanted to work with dead bodies since she was nine years old--she just wasn't sure how because she wanted to be an artist too. It's hard enough to succeed in just one of those fields, so she must be a robot or something because she ended up not only graduating from Yale's storied photogra... | |

 DEAR DIARYEntry: April, 1998April, 1998

 UNGRATEFUL DEADEmbalming the HatedYes, I'm a funeral director. That doesn't mean that I stand there in a jacket and skirt at someone's wake comforting the bereaved family. Nope.

 ELECTRIC INDEPENDENCEAttention, all uber-minimal techno geeks: take a deep breath and brace yourself for the bad news: the revenge of the nerds is over.

 WHEN I GROW UPMy Career in JobsI moved to New York in the late 1980s-the Jay McInerney, Spy magazine, Donald and Ivana Trump, merger-and-acquisition, junk-bond boom-time. Most of my formerly arty college pals were in law or business school, but none of them were interested in either law or business. They just wanted to get paid. ... | |

 THE VICE GUIDE TO BECOMING A WHORE IN 2004Ok, let's cut the shit here. Working in the "sex industry" fucking blows.

Real sex work is about showing up at a millionaire crackhead's house with a big box of Wet Ones, lettin... | |

 LYING HOMOHow I Bluffed My Way into Old PornI went through a major George Costanza phase in my early 20s in terms of jobs.

I like using this lighter because when I first got it, I was like, "Ha-ha, what a nut that Travis Bickle was," but now that I'm older I'm like, "What do you mean?" The only thing weird about him now was that he took a girl to a porn movie on a date. ... | |

 M.O.P.'S MOMMYThe Crazy Fox Behind the ScenesM.O.P. are the music industry's biggest bullies, the gun-clapping Ted Nugents of hip-hop, and probably the only artists whose entire discography can be summed up in three words (I kill you). But when Billy Danze and Lil' Fame sing "Handle Ur Business," they're secretly paying tribute to Fox, the onl... | |

 BEATS AND RHYMESYou know how Black British music doesn't count for shit outside of London? Maybe the main reason is that so many British rappers are lazy potheads who rap too much about things that nobody cares about.

 FIRE A FRIENDThe Government Shows You HowAfter failing to get any of the eight jobs for which I recently had interviews, I decided that something was definitely amiss.
