> For everyone who's a pornstar there's another dozen people who used the money to go to college (or whatever their exit is) and start a career.
Source showing that happens with that frequency? While I'm sure there there exists someone who did porn and used the money to springboard to achieve some happy goal, the idea that's the usual outcome seems like a guilt-alleviating fiction. I don't think it even passes smell test, because my understanding is porn doesn't even pay that well [1].
