Please prepare yourself for the hamster: "Salon: From Harvard to webcam girl"

Quote:

Last autumn I sat in a midtown cubicle sorting receipts for my boss’s monthly expense report. I had recently earned my master’s degree from Harvard and had accepted a coveted yet thankless entry-level position at a well-known philanthropic organization in New York City. My parents were proud of me, and I was proud that they were proud of me. Convinced that I was doing the “right thing,” I spent a year botching Excel spreadsheets and crying in office bathroom stalls. This is the American middle-class 20-something’s dream, I told myself.

Note the actual degree is unspecified, the credential itself is what she expects people to worship. And of course it's a job at a nonprofit org.

Quote:

At best, I completed simple administrative tasks, such as printing paper and hoarding Post-its, with mild competence. I relished these peaceful moments, for the majority of the time I felt more like a 2-year-old filing estate taxes with crayons. At my annual employee review, my boss placed me on “Performance Probation,” citing at least five or six reasons why I could not be trusted with so much as a stapler. She added that in spite of my attempts to reach out, touch base and other mildly suggestive office essentials, my communication skills were “not improving.” Maybe I’m just dumb, I thought. Maybe I really can’t communicate with people. Maybe I shouldn’t communicate at all.

How the fuck can you fail so badly at being an office junior? Fetching coffee and making photocopies should not be taxing at all for someone with a "master's degree from Harvard".

Note: female boss, not even a hint of the patriarchy holding her down.

Quote:

Tell that to Marina, I now think, staring at the unlikely reflection of a smoky-eyed 25-year-old woman in my lipstick-strewn bathroom. Marina, my online alter ego on a popular adult webcamming site, is the new and improved “me.” She dazzles men with discussions of Indo-European languages while seducing them with her perky derriere, bending over before the camera to reach for her pen, with which she scrawls on a memo pad: Dyno_Schlong. That username, one of over a hundred in her chat room, is simply too good to forget.

Or: men paying for camsites are social rejects and are novelty seekers. She could probably read the stock prices from the paper and they'd respond as much to that as her "intellect". If Indo-European languages (Wiki: "It includes most major current languages of Europe, the Iranian plateau, and the Indian Subcontinent") was her degree then no wonder she can't get a job.

Quote:

Upon first glance, the only semblance Marina bears to her office-dwelling predecessor is her penchant for Post-its, which now testify to a to-do list decidedly more perverse:

* Mail panties to Faroe Islands

* Send cucumber video to HuckleberrySin

* Add Hitachi Magic Wand to Amazon wish list

And yet, as she poses in lacy white stockings – a gift from a virtual admirer – atop her squeaky Ikea armchair, the only thing that surprises her is how ordinary it all feels.

"Sorry, I can't go out tonight, I have to send a cucumber video to a fan"

Quote:

What guy in his right mind would pay to see someone like me to take off her … I paused, looking down at my austere gray cardigan. While I’m not unattractive, my waxen face, sturdy brown glasses and easily detectable baggage (both under-eye and emotional) hardly suggest that I’m someone you might want to see naked.

Damaged goods. Anyone taking odds on how long before she goes for a skrillex or pixie cut?

Quote:

Even if my employers discovered this sack-worthy secret, it was empowering to know that I was deliberately sabotaging my own career, as opposed to letting it deteriorate organically.

Can't cope, won't cope.

There's more in the article, but in summary:
Simps gonna simp, hamsters gonna hamster.

When you throw shit in a barrel of mixed liquids it floats at a level of it's density.

WYB?

[spalex]

and there are more girls resorting to this every day!

Sometimes, life is beautiful.

[ColSpanker]

Welcome to the ObamaNation. These Barbies wanted Hope and Change, they got it. And how!

[Draugr]

I've done shit clerical work before, to anyine with an above average IQ remembering petty details about unimportant shit gets tedious. Its supposed to be an entry to better things, but the HR shit tests are there to keep you in place.

We live in a society of wealth transference, no one makes money, they just get money.

[caracal]

She's definitely bangable, but the article mentions her 'perfectionist work ethic'.... ahahaha!

My guess is that feminism has taught her that she has earned that master's degree and the world would worship the ground she walked on, and that any job she got at a NFP would involve her giving speeches to the UN, visiting starving children in Africa etc... not the shit work most of us have to start doing so that we can climb the ladder.

Yeah, I admire her for recognizing this. Not sure there is a hamster involved. She's freer now than she would have been.

If there is a hamster, it's driving the guys who are paying her.

She's basing her life and personal value around attention whoring - how long is that going to last once she hits the wall?

Quote:

I still receive support from a handful of devoted followers, several of whom I chat with during off-hours and consider friends. In spite of an overall decrease in traffic, I continue to garner new viewers, whose antics never fail to nourish the soul, if not the bank account

The thirsty guys buying shit for her now will move on to fresher girls when they get bored of her. Then what will she do for validation? Doing a dildo show for internet losers is only empowering up to the point it becomes desperate.

First, all entertainers are attention whores. How is this different from being on TV or a stand-up comic, if you take morality out of it?

She's easily got ten years to make the money, then she can do a lot of other things, like teach English in Bangkok or marry a rich old guy. Maybe she will be able to retire.

This article is refreshing in so many ways:

1. It displays how useless most college degrees are. My wife, who has a GED, knows how to do office administration and does it well. This broad, who has spent tens of thousands of her parents money and her own opportunity cost for attending school, who doubtless would look down on someone with a GED has essentially been fired from the same job, from which she was earning nothing to begin with.

2. In the end, she doesn't resolve to work harder, or learn how to do the most basic shit like use excel...she resorts to her two choices of natural professions. Wife/mother or whore. Despite her hamster-rama of reasoning why she's doing it she is still doing what she is genetically suited for, using zero of the things she earned her masters for.

i wish high school guidance counselors could have this story written in plain language and say something like "Listen Marina, you are moderately attractive and 18. Your best current career options are a) cam girl or some other sex trade or b) taking a basic job while learning wife skills in order to land a husband. You can either do this now, or delude yourself for 6 years, spend tens of thousands of dollars and end up doing this same thing anyway." This would contrast to "Listen Zelda, you are a 4 at best...I recommend you pursue accounting or library studies because you are likey not going to have men chasing you your whole life and shouldn't be in any work related field where you have to work with other hot women"

This whole "go to university, be a career woman" pep talk should be reserved for ugly women only...they are the only ones who this is a better choice for than using their looks to earn income.

My parents were proud of me, and I was proud that they were proud of me.

I wonder if this will remain the case when they discover what she is doing. Why would you ever feel the need to write an article or post a pic about this? Unless she is trying to get new customers since she it seems income is slowing down. I love how she says in the article, "I still receive support from a handful of devoted followers, several of whom I chat with during off-hours and consider friends. "

Friends with people that pay you money to do things to yourself?

Quote:

I’ll admit – I never thought L. Ron Hubbard could be sexy. But then again, I never thought that I could be, either.

For me, this quote (her closing statement) summarizes her hamster. She likes being sexy. I thought there was a difference between being sexy and whoring, but oh well.

[Days of Broken Arrows]

The only point in this article I see is that she purposely got into a perverse career and then publicized it to get a major book/movie/series deal.

She's following the career path of Linda Tirado and that Tumblr college student who saved all her anonymous (and alleged) "hate" comments.

This has been going on since at least the Nixon era, when a gov't secretary who was really hired as a mistress wrote a tell-all. The tagline was: "I can't type, I can't file, I can't even answer the phone."

There's probably a publicist behind this too. If not a Harvard marketing professor/"guru."

Just a quick note: whenever a woman is too upfront about sex, it's usually not about sex. Follow the money.

You can give a bimbo a master's degree, but she's still a bimbo.

My guess is: the wall spares no one, camgirling won't last forever. A career selling hamster feed to women may be the fallback.

Some beta orbiter will scoop her up. She won't be pretty, but he masturbated to her in his youth. He'll buy her lots of things, and she'll pretend to ignore his doritto stains. They'll both cheat.

You mean "she'll cheat, while he'll wish he was able to cheat".

[HeyPete]

W/B. Yes!

But if she brings up Indo-European languages she gets a cunt punch.

She needs to shut the fuck up with the 'Indo-European languages' bullshit.

Would definitely smash

This article and some related layoffs I've been seeing make me think that there's a market correction going on that's long overdue. The vast majority of women cannot function very well in results oriented jobs, so they're going to be forced back into domestic roles or pleasing men as some kind of sex worker. Hopefully, a in post-recession world where most jobs can be done cheaply through automation or outsourcing for repetitive tasks, a lot of companies will realize that giving women pretend jobs in human resources or social media just isn't helpful to your bottom line.

These bitches have had it far too easy for too long. They better start selling some pussy or keep a provider male happy enough that he's willing to pay for her shit.

[T and A Man]

She spent her late teens and early 20's doing a masters... when her younger body is most condusive to what she is doing now

At age 25, is sticking a cucumber up your twat and mailing it really a better option than being a wife and having kids?

She's too stupid to be in the office, too stupid to work, yet in a summer dress would be pleasant enough to come home to. She could actually offer value here, whereas in stapler handling and photocopy officer, she's a liability......

As I sit here and type this, it never ceases to amaze me why women aren't questioning what feminism has done to their lives.
