    Default What would you be doing if you did not dance?

    I was talking with a roomie about this today. We both were thinking that since we both dance. I probably would be waitressing or working as a secretary or something. I know a lot of you all have college degrees so I was kinda wondering what some of you all would be doing.

    Teaching piano WAY more. It would be a job instead of a hobby.

    waitressing at a really expensive restaurant nearly every day to save money to do all the things i want to do.....dancing is more efficient.

    I might have been more serious about getting into some college classes...but I'd also probably be working a 10$ an hour job 40-50 hours a week.

    I'm not sure! I have over 2K in bills a month and this is really the only occupation that I'm qualified for that pays well If my rent wasnt so high my bills would only be half that so I'd probably be doing something I like...like pet grooming. I reaalllly want to do volunteer ems and pet work but im out of jurisdiction for ems and the animal shelter in my town handles volunteers like your applying for a top secret gov't job. Gay gay gay. But I'm moving soon so maybe the new town will work out.

    I'd be shooting myself. Seriously. With all my debt and total lack of opportunities and education...there would be no way out without dancing. At least now I can use dancing to get back into school.

    So would I, if I'd actually buckled down years ago and done it, instead of wandering aimlessly through life up till now. Better late than never.

    Okay if I didn't dance and say all my debt was paid off?

    Besides ride unicorns and eat xanax while wearing ballerina shoes and tiaras ..

    probably doing social work with sex workers and women in the prison system. Secretly it's a job I've always wanted. But it doesn't pay much of anything so I've never bothered going for that dream.

    Working as a solicitor. That's what I will be doing when I finish dancing.

    There are many stereotypes about the industry that I work in. Sometimes they can be true but human beings are very diverse creatures and cannot be pigeon-holed into one category.

    Some of the most effortlessly beautiful, kind, intelligent, successful, motivated, driven and ridiculously hilarious women that I have ever met have been dancers. I've met the best friends that I've ever had in this industry.

    I'd be working at VS still. I would probably be pretty successful--but with the hours, the pay (if you want to call it that), and all the other BS one has to put up with from that company--it wouldn't be worth it. I'm sticking to my original plan--Retirement.

    Driving a truck. Honestly with no education, it's probably the best paying job I could dig up. Oz is having a big mining boom at the moment and if I could get the family to c-operate I could actually make double what I do as a dancer driving trucks there right now.

    I'd be working for the state inspecting hotels and restaurants and doing water quality. I loved that job, it worked for my ADHD personality because I could do all kinds of different stuff in the same day. The pay sucked though, so even when school was done stripping seemed like a better deal for me.

    I'd be a biologist, a treehugger living in a trailer on-site and eating peanut butter and crackers for dinner.

    Ironically, as a dancer, I am able to be more helpful to my pet causes (helping the disenfranchised and promoting eco-efficient living) than as a wildlife sciences worker- I have more money.

    Unless I have my own business, I'd be stuck in an office working as a secretary somewhere. I did office work before dancing and I'll most likely be returning to office work once I retire from dancing.

    Working in the hospitality industry in some variety - waitress, bartender, etc...

    whilst being on The Dole to support the shit casual wage and lack of hours...

    living in a shitty unit with a flatmate...

    and not nearly enjoying my life as much as I do....

    ...... like I was prior to doing what I do!


    Even tho' I do have to be topless, my hourly wage is still a lot more than my clothed counterparts doing the 'same' work as me. Plus they have to put in more hour to get the same amount of money that I get over a 2 day "work week" as such

    At the moment (from tomorrow) I'm working on qualify-ing myself as a dog groomer. This way I can eventually work with animals as a main form of income (something I love) and relegate dancing to 'extra cash'.
