I just got offered a job to edit porn...
Ok, so I am looking for a job doing some production work here in Milwaukee. I see an ad in the newspaper looking for an experienced Final Cut Pro or Adobe Premiere editor. So I think to myself "I'm an experienced Final Cut Pro editor." I send in my resume and I got a call today inquiring about it. The job is in Lake Geneva which is a long drive from Milwaukee, but if the money is good, it could be worth it. So the guy continues on and I ask what the project is about. He says "I'm a professional movie director and I make Playboy style erotica...is this something you'd be interested in?" I think to myself again..."If the money is good...wait...I'm a 19 year old student with better opportunities than to start editing porn" "Uh...Lake Geneva is just too long of a drive for me...sorry."
I got off the phone and cracked up....definitely the most "different" kind of job offer I've ever had. Not that porn is a bad thing, and not that I couldn't use the money, it's just that I don't want to start my professional career in pornography. So I called my mom, she thought it was hilarious. Just thought I'd share this interesting event that just made my day...

That's the 2nd reason I didn't want the job. I actually WANT to work in Hollywood someday.

That's because nobody edits porn in iMovie. Yet.

And why do they always add music to porn? It spoils the mood.

Not true . . . if you have no moral quams, and it seems that everybody is on the up-and-up and nobody is getting abused in any way, you could make a bundle for a short time then quit and simply not tell anyone what you were doing.
It would be Pro level work and you would learn from your experiences . . .as you always learn when being forced to edit for a client
BTW, how far is Lake Geneva from Eau Claire?

Exactly what I was thinking. I'd be willing to take the ferry across the lake to help out. Always looking for more stuff to add to my 'reel'.
