hey guys! i did post a picture of my avatar attempting to buy some rather skimpy clothes.... i found the interface quite complicated to navigate and i couldnt even figure out how to change real money into linden dollars. unlike jill i did not have a sugar daddy to help me out, so i thought id type about the SL economy today. There are many ways to make money in SL, for example u could do the whole real estate thing, u could design skin/clothes/accessories/hair for avatars and open a store, or u could get a job. i thought the job aspect was really interesting, and ive posted a screenshot of the SL jobforums which is a website where SL users can post/look for jobs.
here is a very intriguing excerpt from one of the job ads....
Temptation Lounge is one of SL's premier ladies only establishment and with a recent move to a new location, we currently have a few openings for dancers, hostesses and dj's. We do not require that you be 30 days old, but we do have requirements and we are looking to only hire the best of the best and we will not settle for less. If you feel that you meet these requirements and that you are the best in your field, we want you!
Ability to emote well as well as friendliness and a great sense of humor are a must! You must be a team player with no prejudices against male interaction during stripping. You also need a good grasp of the English language. Dancers/Hostesses- experience is preferred, but not a must. DJs - MUST have own stream.
Please contact me IG for an application and interview.
An interview? for a job as a virtual hostess/dancer? sounds pretty serious to me. I talked to several people on SL and they said the same thing as what jill said in her post regarding "camping". basically, when people are not online, they park their avatar at a club or bar (similar to the one advertised above) where they "work" by dancing or stripping. they get paid a certain amount of money every hour and they can get tips as well. brilliant!
on another note, the third picture that i posted is from the SL forum as well, this topic was about SL users who planned to meet up in real life. Unfortunately if u read the posts properly, u can see that there are many people (guys duh right...) who abuse SL and use it for all the wrong reasons...

Kevin that forum posting is so interesting, we should look deeper into that, I can't believe how specific and 'real life' that wanted ad was-"We accept only the best"- what?
That ad is so realistic. Had I not read the rest of the entry, I would have assumed it was a real ad for an actual job in RL!
And the "camping" aspect is fascinating, but still...
"We do not require that you be 30 days old...Ability to emote well as well as friendliness and a great sense of humor are a must! You must be a team player with no prejudices against male interaction during stripping." SO funny!!
