I think the reason few guys view it as a long term career is that few girls do. Almost every dancer I've ever met has said that she's only doing it temporarily until something else (college graduation, loans paid off, money in the bank, etc.) happens. I've yet to meet a dancer who said she planned to make a career of it.

Well, the career dancers that I have met don't tell guys because so many customers can be so judgemental about it. But trust me, they're put there. More than you think.

FONDL: I don't think too many 20 year old dancers PLAN on making a career out of it.
As the saying goes; Life is what happens to you while you are making other plans.

Yoda, I know a lady who has managed a strip club for over 20 years and she only took the job temporarily to help out a friend and only expected to be there a couple of months. I also know a mother and daughter who dance together and I'm sure the mother never set out to do that. Yes, life often happens to us while we're looking the other way. None of us have as much control over our lives as we think we do.
Nina, I know there are pros out there pursuing a career. They're the ones I try to avoid, plus I usually avoid the clubs where those kind of dancers tend to work, so I don't really know any girls like that. There's nothing wrong with them, that just isn't what I'm looking for when I go clubbing. Most of the dancers who I've known well burned out pretty quickly and moved on to other things.

I like to party with strippers who are students - they can give really good, intelligent conversation in addition to some really hot lap dances.

LOL
I hated school in general & never lied to customers. "College? I'll go back.....someday....Wanna dance? LOL"
Ironically, I've lucked into a couple professions that don't require expensive long-term schooling, I know not everyone is so lucky.

Old thread but. Men ASSUME I'm in uni because of my glasses. It got so old quickly saying I was waiting for my citizenship so it'd be cheaper. Oh, but you have glasses so you MUST be in school! Wtf? Finally it got so old, I tell them I'm in psychiatry. Now they ask for a free evaluation. Can't win!

Very few dancers here in Houston actually make a good living working in SC as the competetion is intense (and past 30-35 they are basically washed up as they will have a tough time competing with the younger girls). They have to find a constant stream of big spending new customers. Players, once they learn a dancer won't do extras or see them OTC, generally are too busy spending money on the new girls (exploration) than to spend funds on one they know won't meet OTC or do the extras they like to enjoy in the club VIP room (myself included).
Every dancer I have known who is going to school can hardly wait to complete school and leave dancing and have a "real" job that has an hourly rate, benefits, retirment plan, and company matching to 401K. The rest of them sonner or later will be at the mercy of numerous players when the rent becomes due. An experienced player will not be swayed from dancer drama but will simply tell them what they have to do for him to get what they want. Recently I had a dancer call me on a monday needing $600 for rent due on Friday. She was very tearful on the phone and the usual manipulative drama about her poor kids who would be out on the street. I calmly told her I wanted to help her out as I like to "give you fine ladies lots of green" and told her I would need 3 private sessions ($200 / session for sex). She asked if I could "loan" her the money and I told her I do not do loans or handouts that my only concern is when, where, and how much is the session (I told her "honey lets just have a good time with these sessions then later we can have a beer and talk about your problems". She agreed and we had a great time that week. She must had a good time (or liked the rate) because the next week she called me saying "I need some more backrub and....." I then knew I wanted to add her to my roster.
So my advice to a dancer is this: Enjoy your high income dance years (and stay off drugs and supporting no good bums who don't have money and just want to use you! So many dancers I know are supporting BF who does not work), but you better be working on plan B for what you will be doing after dancing: good job, rich hubby, etc. Remember, the customer is there for entertainment, to party ITC, or line up someone for his OTC roster. An experienced player will not be intimidated by hustlers, fall for SC scams, or be swayed by stripper drama. Many guys have 3 or 4 gals on the OTC roster (like I do) so if a prob develops with one, they simply go to the next one on the list (plus they are always going out to SC's 4 fun and to recruit new ones to manage turnover). Sort of like a college coach having 4 WR's on the depth chart. I am always seeking the best combo of what I call ACP (Attractiveness, Cost, Performance).

^ do you think you were being generous when you paid her?
I think it's incredibly sad that dancers feel this need to do extras to make more money to pay for the average college tuition/rent/etc nowadays. Incredibly, awfully sad.

about 1/2 the girls i can think of at my club are students (self included) and they aren't lying. i see a few of them on campus here and there.

I'm a full time biochem major that is minoring in mathematics. If you ever want to talk about organic molecules or triple integrals I'd be happy to discuss.
Most of the customers I meet have no idea how to even to a simple trig problem.
Anyways I know that there aren;t any girls at my club (that I know of) that say they are in school and are not.
flarka I prefer geometry over trig. They gave us the answer up front but challenged us to figure out how to get from here to there. Felt sort of like cheating but Im down with that LOL

Full time student and dance part time here too! Men think I'm lying most of the time, so usually I don't even bother telling them in the first place.

Here's an interesting one - I teach college and I've run into my students dancing in the club before. I try to leave pretty quick when I notice one because they get very upset and I understand the desire to keep work and school separate. After all, I used to dance too - and I sure didn't want students to recognize me while I was dancing.

In my club, probably %50 are student, %20 are trying to make some money so they can go to school, %25 are just trying to get by (high school drop-outs, moms, in-between jobs, recently divorced) and %5 are simply oldschool dance-till-you-die kind of ladies who started when they were 18 and can't seem to find anything else.
