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,"

Yes her morals were virtually non existant. She was a greedy pig who used her exotic features to cater to the worst stereotypes. Hence, why we are no longer friends. Bad company ruins good manners.
uuunbelievable
She is doing more than just bodyrubs for $500 an hour. Unless the guys are total idiots.
If she is, it's her gamble. There's a strain of drug resistant syphillis going around in NYC. A lot of these pervs like to stick a round peg into a square hole.
This kind of goes along with that other thread about wanting to have Paris Hilton as a substitute teacher lol

Gee, why didn't he just go all the way and advocate porn star or prostitute? According to Hollywood, those are both respectable and lucrative career choices for young girls.
I can be sarcastic, too.
Why stop at girls? Boys seem to be in demand in several markets, as well. Maybe the school should drop their complaint as stated, and hit him with a sexism charge, instead. Seems like that would be much more damaging in Lib territory.
MUST...NOT...BUY...TICKET..to..Palo Alto!!
(phew! Glad that's over. Willpower isn't an easy thing to muster).
I should have added that he could tell the boys, "every extra 2" down there is worth another $50,000/year."
Just damn.

Oh, THAT kind of library...
Not correct, but it is accurate.
Someone! wake me up from this nightmare!!!
I never met anyone who made much doing it. But I guess the business world changes so rapidly nowadays...
Yes, but their male customer base is rising. In fact, they may erect a whole new building, since the staff is gonna grow so much...
I feel bad for strippers. By all accounts, inflation has robbed them of almost half the buying power per 'trick.' But who's going to go to the bank for a fistful of twos, out of fairness?
As soon as I read your post I began to picture the curve depicting declining and negative marginal utility of surgical bust enhancement. Who say's economics is the dismal science? LOL
