SW has got to be such the minority. When I'm at work, whatever club I'm at, and I look around the dressing room, I don't think any of those girls have graduated college.

I graduated college, so I learned how to use the computer. :expert:

Its the opposite where I am! At my last 2 clubs, it seemed mostly everyone had a college degree or was in school to get one. At my current club (which is in a blue-collar rural location) there are a few college grads and students, but it seems most girls have cosmetology and personal training certifications.

In the club in which I worked for over three years, (and I just went back last Sunday), there have been two dancers who have completed college degrees. I am one of them.

There are a few who are in school and I think one of them has completed her AA and is getting ready to transfer.

At the club where I have been for the last six months? Most of them are shocked that I have another career, let alone having gone to college. One girl I know is in college and two have gone to a technical college that has to do with becoming a recording engineer.

Most dance for sometimes 12 hours a day and speak either broken english or no english.

Polls tend to reflect answers the people are happy to give. They can sometimes be a little inaccurate to get across the board averages.

In two, years, I've never met a dancer with a college degree. I've only met 2 that were going to a four year college. I guess its blue collar here too...

I've danced with a couple girls from the college I went to. Two I helped get into dancing (one during and one after graduation), and one I met through SW, who happened to go to my school! It's a small school, 1300, so it was a surprise.

I'm currently about to start my second year of law school.

I started dancing my second year in college, to save up for a car. Will continue doing it through law school.

Yea, I have to agree with this. The strippers that come on this site are those that are actively seeking knowledge about their work. And that already separates the stereotypical stripper from SWers.

Dropped out of the eleventh grade and got my GED. I think it was the eleventh grade.

I was a dancer for 4 years before I met another dancer who finished college. I began dancing in college and continued after I graduated. I knew a lot of other women in school, but none of them ever seemed to finish. It seems like a lot of students have their academic careers derailed by dancing. They go from full time school and part time dancing to the reverse... then school is an infinite loop of starting with X classes, dropping a few or the whole semester, etc. The lifestyle of dancing seems to take over and her priorities change.

Then I met one woman I had danced with in college - she finished school too. I had so much respect for her because it was so uncommon. Since her, I have met one woman who finished earning her Masters while dancing. In person, I have not met others (but I am no longer dancing). It's very refreshing to be here and meet other women who used dancing as a way to support themselves while accomplishing their other goals, and didn't let dancing displace their other goals. I admire you all.

I was a rebel as a child and teen, I got kicked out of my high school back home, moved to Florida, got my GED and now I'm in college. I want to major in radiation therapy/oncology or something that helps people with mental health problems.

I graduate with my BA in Psychology next fall, after being in and out of college since I graduated high school in 2000. Right now I'm maxing out my courseloads to finish and I'm so happy. I plan on going to PhD. Like someone said earlier in this thread, I want to be Dr. Angel. You ladies are the best.

I started college at 16, when I turned 18 I took a half a year off because I moved to a different state, ended up moving again and taking the other half of the year off. Went back at 19 and graduated with a B.S. in Environmental Science. Took a little while, but I got it.

Am I using it? Hell no. The job I want to do has crappy pay, I'm stripping as long as I can.

^^^ Boy's sister is an environmental scientist. With less than a year at her company, she makes almost twice what I make. And she gets to go on "field trips" that involve sitting in her car and "supervising" while other people do the actual dirty work of digging, etc.

Oooh...awesome. I was one of the people that had to get dirty and dig. I'd been working there before I was done with college, so the only thing that changed when I got a degree was that I got paid more. I liked the getting dirty part of the job.

Wow, how did you manage starting college at 16?

I love seeing all these ladies with degrees, and getting an education really says a lot about someone. I forgot who said this maybe Mark Twain or Ernest Hemmingway but: "The diffrence between the educated and the uneducated is more vast than the diffrence between the living and the dead". You gotta love it.
