    Pornstar Benched - 150K salary cut to 50K

    Its not only IT contractors that are spending more time on the bench these days.


    For Savannah Stern, 23, the rapid decline of job opportunities in the porn business over the last year has been dramatic. She has gone from working four or five days a week to one and now has employers pressuring her to do male-female sex scenes for $700, a 30% discount from the $1,000 fee that used to be the industry standard.

    Less than two years ago, Stern earned close to $150,000 annually, sometimes turned down work and drove a Mercedes-Benz CLK 350. Now she's aggressively reaching out for jobs and making closer to $50,000 a year.

          It's good to see she's not just taking it lying down.

              and I guess in the porn industry, with its fast turnover, even 23 is no longer the first flush of youth.

                  "Savannah Stern is adjusting to that reality. She's shooting scenes for her own subscription website and planning a tour of exotic dance clubs to earn money from her name while she can. After that, she hopes to go to college for an interior design degree and work in her family's real estate development and contracting business"

                  Ahem.
