I have been noticing lately that a large amount of girls (not all) that I work with/have worked with in my time as a dancer want to go into helping professions like nurse, social worker, psychologist, teacher,or have majors in college like sociology or family studies. Have you guys noticed this too?
It seems weird, because people usually think of strippers as money hungry bitches that don't care about anyone but themselves. Do you think there is something in our personalities directly related to dancing AND wanting to go into a type of field where you help people? Like since we're dancing, maybe we're all a little unconventional and thus less judgemental than other people? Or maybe there is no relation at all?

I'm studying in my chosen field b/c I'm a kinesthetically oriented person (anything to do with anatomy/physiology, or movement, or the human body in general, comes easily to me)...and because it pays well.

, kind of like the notion that girls become strippers because their step-dad had boundary issues (that's from Family Guy, btw). Its pretty patronizing.

I haven't been around much in the last few months but I thought the customerweb phenomenon was dying down.
I wish I knew more strippers studying in the psychology field..Ha, I asked my therapist "So do you know any psychologists that were former strippers?" She said no, and even if someone was a stripper..they wouldn't tell anybody in their field. She was telling me, "What if a client was your former customer?"
