It was their choice but it was, again IMO, their ONLY choice if they wanted to go to college and graduate in a normal time frame.

Let's see, I can be a slut and graduate in five years, or retain my virtue and take six.

Their parents couldn't afford to pay for it. They made too much money working a normal job for a student loan.

If she made so much money in a "normal" job, she didn't have to strip. I worked 40 hours a week in college. I still qualified for student loans. Actually, nearly anyone can qualify for student loans. The question is whether you can qualify for subsidized student loans.

They didn't have the grades for a scholarship. What would you have them do? Try to work a normal job, go, part time, to college nights and graduate in 10 years? Yes, some have done that.

Money or morals, money or morals, money or morals, who can choose?

Some have missed many years of good pay by doing it. These women wanted to graduate in a normal 3 to 5 year time frame.

It took me eight years to graduate. Would I like to have been out earlier? Sure, but not at the expense of my dignity or morality. When someone is willing to sell those things it boils down to one thing: She is a prostitute. And as long as she can look back on doing it without regret she is still a prostitute.

Why is it when someone works in a job that someone else doesn't like they are automatically a "prostitute"?
These woman didn't go out with customers and have sex. They didn't do lap dances. They didn't let customers grope them while masturbating in their pants.
They all have morals. What is the big deal about the nude female body?

Anyone?

I'm sorry, hopesprings, I can't agree with you. Just because someone lets others view their nude body doesn't mean they have no morals or they are prostitutes.

" Sure, but not at the expense of my dignity or morality. When someone is willing to sell those things it boils down to one thing: She is a prostitute."

Dignity and morality are relative things. Some people would say that mowing yards or collecting trash are jobs below their dignity. What is moral ,sexually speaking, to a Sunday School Teacher is different than what is moral to a nudist. Just because stripping is below your dignity or morality, you shouldn't assume the same is true for everyone.

If professions that were considered below the dignity or morality of some people were outlawed, being a politician, a car salesman, a lawyer, or a septic tank cleaner would be illegal. Note, these people would still exist, just as the stripper would still exist if stripping were outlawed. Their activities would be driven underground though, and they would become outlaws.
