There???s no better cure for the Mondays than looking for jobs, and no better cure for hating your job than reading job listings. Each week, we remind you that as bad your job is, it could be a lot worse.
This week, Sex Herald.com is looking for freelance porn critics. At first glance, reviewing NSFW websites for pay may seem like an upgrade from the work you’re doing as an amateur. But $7 a review is not worth mixing business and pleasure. Besides, writing samples from Sex Herald.com will probably not get you into the New Yorker and could get you fired from your current job.
The offer basically comes down to getting minimally compensated to review porn sites under a pseudonym. At least at your current terrible job, you can go by your real name.

You’ve got it all wrong, Rebecca. Coming up with a porn pseudonym is clearly the BEST part of writing an adult film review. “Buck Naked,” anyone?
