The people I worked with would not hire someone that worked in porn.

Also, my boss at adobe would not either.

A gambling or porn background reduces your career options.



Adobe has employed and if memory serves me correct still employs SEO (search engine optimization) peeps who have previous porn experience.


Yes, the company does and will. But there are managers who won't. Same thing in defense - you can still get clearance but considering how many in the industry are Mormon you decrease your chances of being hired.


The defense industry runs heavily Mormon? Since when? I work in the defense industry and I've never heard of that.


For example: http://www.patheos.com/blogs/peculiarpeople/2014/04/mormons-...

Just do a quick search on Mormons and nsa, cia, fbi. They are over represented. Perhaps you didn't even know? And it's no secret that Air Force command is extremely religious.


The CIA and FBI do have recruitment programs for Mormon graduates, as they value the language skills and their abstinence from alcohol, drugs etc. And while they may be over-represented proportionally, they don't run the show of course. Most of the sources I have seen take the few hard numbers available and do a lot of speculation on the top.
