I agree with Buda and Kei that if it doesn't make you comfortable, keep looking and use it as a fall back. Although, if you really need the job you can always take it and see how things work out. If they don't work out, you can always leave and go find a new job. But who knows...maybe you'll enjoy working there.

If it is a question of morals....listen to your gut. If it's a question of making ends meet with no alternative...listen to your gut.

All in all...listen to you're gut.

Blam. He has a very good point.

But using the head: If it makes the money, i'd say you go for it...while you work, take interviews, etc. When you find a new business, go for it.

I would probably do it, since i have no shame, but thats me Smile

Must make note, I signed up to work at a place that sells those dildos... I didn't get the job, I think I messed up a bit on their ethics quiz they gave at the interview.


The moral of this story... um... Huh, nevermind.

If you do not feel comfortable with your potential boss going into the job; regardless of the nature of the job, it is a bad idea. It does seem to have the potential to be a very interesting job, but if your BS meter is going off then you might want to consider something else. I know alot of the girls here would likely hate me saying that =P.
