Meet the Porn star Alix Lynx with Master degree but quit her office job to make adult movies

Many youth are striving to get a degree, while some gets it and throw it away. 

A high-achieving graduate turned her back on a promising career to pursue her dream of becoming a PORN mega-star. Alix Lynx worked hard to earn a degree in communications and then an MBA in digital marketing, and was rewarded with a string of office jobs. Alix's dad works in construction and her mum has a PhD, and she credits them with giving her a "really good upbringing".

 

But the corporate world just wouldn't do for the racy blonde, and after a stint doing webcam shows, she decided to carve out a career in porn. The 26-year-old says she first realised she wanted to be an X-rated movie star after watching a documentary about the industry. 

 

Speaking to the online magazine, Cosmopolitan.com, she revealed: "Porn is something I wanted to do since I was a teenager. 

"Some of my friends knew. [When I was a teenager] I came across a stack of Playboy magazines at a friend's. At that age, I was like, 'Holy cow, these girls are beautiful'.

"I wanted to be like that."

Growing up in upstate New York, Alix says she kept her porn star ambitions to herself, going along with her parents' expectations of attending college.

Alix's dad works in construction and her mum has a PhD, and she credits them with giving her a "really good upbringing".

Dispelling the theory that "people who do porn must have issues," she says she "wasn't promiscuous growing up," adding that she lost her virginity to her high school boyfriend at the age of 16.

Then she had something of an epiphany after watching the documentary.

However, when her boyfriend suggested he'd break up with her if she ever worked as a porn actress, she put her plans - and dreams - on ice.

She graduated high school and finished college in three years after taking classes during the summer, spring and winter breaks. 

Alix told Cosmopolitan.com: 

"I had no idea what to expect. When you're a new girl, you're labelled in bright yellow.

"Members love new girls because they're "fresh meat," so they flocked to me when I logged on."

And at the age of 25, after a year of working as a full-time webcam girl, she flew out to California to pursue a career in porn.

She kept her kinky job hidden from her family until August when her Facebook friends shared a viral video of her simulating oral sex with a lollipop.

While she admits her family doesn't approve of her job, she insists they are "actually very supportive" of her choices.

Now, Alix says she wants to reach the top of the porn world.

She added: "I look around at people in my circle and see that deep down, they have a dream but won't do it because of the stigma.

"They'd rather stay in the bubble working for the man."
