The lady in the article is working on her PhD. She’s probably done the math. She can make over 1K/week in tips stripping, and probably not near that in an entry-level waitress job. She’s old enough to make the choice for herself, and knows what the job entails. What’s the big problem? No one’s coercing her.
And, on the post further down, about where’s the money coming from for the dollar bills in her garter? Same place cigarette money/beer money/lotto money comes from, even in tough times. Jobs like this will be around as long as the men with the dollars are.
Of course it’s her choice. Just as it is mine to comment on her choice. What’s the problem?
Yes, jobs like this will always be around. Yes, there is earned money going into her garter. Do you think people should be spending money on the lotto in hard times? If people indulge in a beer once in awhile, that’s fine. But responsibilities come first. And don’t tell me she’s being responsible. Would you advocate prostitution as responsible for a mother?
It would be interesting to see how much of that CASH she reports as Income, on her tax forms....
