Escorting + college. I have the need for money :(
Hey ladies and gents :P
I've been away for quite some time, had some projects going on with my family, but unfortunately they went wrong. It's not the end of the world, though, and I wanna go back on track.
Well, I'll be restarting college in February 2012 (I'm pursuing a B.S. in Computer science and Electrical Engineering). At the same time, I'm SERIOUSLY considering to work as an escort. I know a transwoman who dedicates to that and, let's say she runs an escort agency. I've heard quite positive things of her (she's even an LGBT activist) and I'd like to work for her while I study for my degree.
Unfortunately me and my mother have been going through some tough financial issues and we need the money, and I hate to see her suffer, so I wanna help her with money. The sad thing is that the highest wage I could get with a high school diploma is around $400USD a month working full time. o_O
My college does not provides financial aid (well, it does, but it's too crappy and it won't be enough to keep the house afloat, so I'll still have to work anyway).
The idea is to do this work in my time off to make some money for the house and fund both my education and transition. I'm pretty sure I'm not the first girl who has done this, and I won't be the last, that's for sure. I'm also aware that this is quite dangerous and it could even get me killed, but honestly, I'd rather do this than stealing or not making enough money to help the house income. Also, it's quite exhausting mentally, yes, but I believe that most of the times sacrifice and hard work are required to achieve your dreams, and in this situation, I need to do whatever it takes.
I have my goals set, and I know I NEED that degree. I swear to God I'm going to work hard in order to achieve it.
I've tried camming before (in multiple sites), it didn't work at all, sadly.
Has anyone else been in such situation? What would you tell me if I was in front of you?

What general area of the US (if that's where you'll be) will you be working in or hoping to start in?
Re: Escorting + college. I have the need for money :(
I don't live in the US :/ check my location lol
Re: Escorting + college. I have the need for money :(
Yeah....that's what I was worried about. I can't give you any information for Mexico and I'm guessing the game is probably a lot different there.
You could see if any of the sugar daddy websites have men in the area:
whatsyourprice.com
and seekingarrangment.com
This actually sounds quite scary where you're at... the best thing I can recommend is to look up the threads on freestyling and start scouting out the casinos, resorts, steakhouses, and anywhere you think rich men (especially rich foreign men) would catch your eye.
Re: Escorting + college. I have the need for money :(
It is scary, yes, but I wouldn't consider it if I didn't think of it carefully. I've had chances to talk with this girl before and work with her on activism stuff, and she's quite nice, Then again, I don't know how she is in the "job".
She's kind of like a pimp, yeah, but let's say I've heard good things about her from trans girls who've worked with her.
Re: Escorting + college. I have the need for money :(
if i was in your situation, i suppose i would feel more safe working with an agency. if by word of mouth you feel she is to be trusted, then i guess give it a try. meet with her and talk to her (and her girls) and ask her millions of questions.
i would also give the sugar daddy sites a try first.
good luck!
Re: Escorting + college. I have the need for money :(
I'll talk with her this Monday and do that. I'm afraid it's my only chance, but like I said, she's a great person and treats her girls very well AFAIK. I'll do my homework before making a decision, though.
EDIT: I've also tried the sugar daddy websites already, had no luck whatsoever because they don't look for trans girls. :( So it's not really a good option until I'm already full time, which as of now, I'm not.
Re: Escorting + college. I have the need for money :(
I definitely wouldn't be escorting in Mexico even if I felt like I HAD to. Scary stuff.....
Re: Escorting + college. I have the need for money :(
FWIW sex work is not illegal where I live, you can't go to jail for that, no matter how many times you get under custody :P and the city is quite safe!
I talked with her an hour ago, and asked all my doubts, got them clear and now I feel confident enough to say I can do this safely with her. Like I said before, she is a trans activist who has done MANY things for the rights of people like me in this country. She treats her girls in a great way and supports them in every way she can. I've also had the chance to work with her before in activism stuff, so I've had some contact with her girls already.
I trust her, if there's anyone who can help me get started and get through this without messing up my life, it's her, and to say that, I'd require a lot of confidence.
I'll go visit her this Saturday to the place where her girls work (it's like a brothel), so I'll have the chance to meet some girls and see how things work on the field. So, to finish with this: she's willing to help me but, she wants me to take it easy and don't do things too fast.
I feel relieved!
