School officials in Palo Alto are reconsidering their use of a popular speaker for an annual career day after he advised middle school students that they could earn a good living as strip dancers.
William Fried told eighth-graders at Jane Lathrop Stanford Middle School that stripping and exotic dancing could be lucrative career moves for girls, offering as much as $250,000 or more per year, depending on their bust size.
"It's sick, but it's true," Fried, president of Foster City's Precision Selling, a management consulting firm, told The Associated Press. "The truth of the matter is you can earn a tremendous amount of money as an exotic dancer, if that's your desire."
The school has asked Fried to give his 55-minute presentation, "The Secret of a Happy Life," for the past three years.
A tip sheet he distributes to students includes a list of 140 potential careers and areas of interest they can consider pursuing. Along with professions as accounting and nursing, the list offers such nontraditional suggestions as exotic dancing, stripping and acting as a spiritual medium.
He counsels students to experiment with a variety of interests until they discover their "life's purpose," something they love and excel in. The presentation and handout have been praised by students, school principal Joseph Di Salvo and others said.
Fried's presentation "helped me realize that my career choice should not be influenced by money," one student wrote in a thank-you letter. "It should be influenced by what we like and are good at."
But on Tuesday, some students asked Fried to expand on why he included "exotic dancing" on the list.
Fried spent about a minute answering questions, defining strippers and exotic dancers synonymously. He told students, "For every two inches up there, you should get another $50,000 on your salary,"

Agreed.
Your parties must be a blast....
Yeah a lot of working girls do drugs, but I notice the new trend is to have 'spending money' to buy stuff.
"Fried's presentation "helped me realize that my career choice should not be influenced by money..."
Unless of course you go for the big breasts and really big bucks in exotic dancing. Then it's okay.
Question, if you urge the kids to not consider money in their career choice, why do mention potential salaries? Did you qoute expected pay rates for the other professions or just the one involving the traditionally most popular vocation of choice among 12 year old girls...bouncing your naked boobs in front of hundreds of drooling losers.
Math Test:
How tall will a stack of $1 bills be if there is $250,000 in the stack?
Damn! I was hoping for pictures! :)
Yeah I know :( Me too! LOL
LOL!
So your basically saying business was a bust ?
Body rubbing ? You mean prostitution.
Sucks sometimes to (pretend to) be good girls doesn't it... LOL
Well yeah it's prostitution IMHO.
Yeah *LOL* But at the end of the day, it's nice to sleep with a clean conscience (not to mention clean body).
No one makes $500 an hour without sex involved.
Anything and everything short of insert X into Y can command that much if there's someone willing to pay.
And you believe her ? lol
true... and just imagine what kind of men who have to PAY for that stuff. Not likely attractive, clean, sober or disease-free ones... ewwww.
