What would you say(in your own opinons) are the pros and cons of working as a a stripper? im just curious :)
Pros: Great money, self confidence, empowerment, knowledge of taxes and finances, financial security, unparralled selling skills, psychology (in the field type, he he), great at detecting BS, fine tuned "stripper sense" to keep me out of dangerous situations, good self defense skills.
Cons: Gropey custies, working in second hand smoke
personally,
PROS: money attained for less hours work!
CONS: the secondhand smoke thing is a biggie, working on 100% commission (+ and -)
Pros: Make your own schedule, unlimited earning potential, feeling sexy, all of the freedom that comes with it.
Cons: Getting used to all the above, and then having to adjust to the daily grind when you re-enter the workplace. When I quit for two years, and started again, I realized how much I really took for granted. I am much more responsible with my $ now, am grateful for what I make.
I second the gropey customer comment.
Pros: freedom of schedule, freedom to take a vacation/time off, not having to take customers shit (you can get up and walk away), actually liking your work uniform, the ability to work as much as needed to save for anything you want, savings, paying off debt/education, you will always have a job anywhere.
Cons: coming home smelling like men, dealing with grabby mofos, same questions every night, paying a stage fee, worrying about stalkers more, "stage knee", summer.
Pros: Financial freedom, free to set your own hours and take vacations whenever you want, you don't have to put up with bullshit, being able to have things you really want, getting to buy cute outfits and shoes to work in, getting to talk to interesting people (the few that you DO meet), making connections (I've done it, it IS possible)
Cons: Finding an understanding man, working in smoke, working nights and weekends, grabby customers, paying out money to the house, potential stalkers, possibility of injury on stage with no workers compensation, no benefits plan
Yes!!!! I hate that!!!!Quote:

pros =

$$$$$$$

$$$$$$$
flexible scedule
$$$$$$$
cons =
guys can say a lot of mean shit - it can get old
guys can be way too aggressive or touchy
girls can be cunts
basically drama - mean people - bullshit
you see the WORST of people sometims, and that can be taxing.
TM-why is summer a con? Is it extra slow or something?
Pro- you can choose how hard you want to work, you get paid to look cute, it is a creative outlet as far as costumes and music, vacation whenever, free drinks all day (if you want), social connections
Cons- making the same small talk all the time, constantly bruised legs (in addition to stage knees), getting tired of having to look cute all the time, not being able to tell family/some friends what you do, occasionally feeling dirty/taken advantage of if a guy gets really grabby or says something nasty to you
Because its so slow I almost want to get 'real' job...wait no...I hate a 'real' job more at this point. My earnings have decreased by $100-200 per shift because of summer.Quote:

Cons: I'll put in another vote for the grabby guys. Hate it!!! Having to answer the same lame ass questions from custys. Bad nights where u don't make crap. Never knowing what your take home will be. You could make 100 or 1000. Best to Save as much as possible.
