    Default Will stripping affect my career?

    I wasn't sure where to post this, and couldn't find any threads when I did a search....I hope to become a doctor or nurse, and an acquaintance asked me if it will hurt my future career by showing up on my employment record. Does anybody know if this will show up on my record, and will it affect my career as a doctor or nurse?

    I think as long as you dont include it on your resume, or tell anyone, that no one has to know and therefore it will not affect your career.

    ^^^ I would point out that this isn't necessarily the case in every circumstance. If a dancer's license is involved, if IRS tax returns show payments from a well known strip club by name, if you are ever (bogusly) busted etc. it's very possible that a history of 'stripping' will be impossible to hide. But this doesn't mean that there won't be ANY possibility of working as a doctor or nurse either, only that the chances of being hired for the 'upscale' positions will be reduced.

    If you dance in Va, there is no record of your dancing, no license is required. I just stopped and I have a seven year gap on my resumee. That doesn't mean that someone couldn't find out.

    And I know a lot of strippers that went to nursing school, and one that was in school to be a doctor.

    I think it's standard for most clubs to have a copy of your ID. My club does this for proof of age in case they are ever asked by ABC or the cops. The copies just sit in a file cabinet.

    As long as the club doesn't cut you checks (have you on the payroll) then there is no record of you working there that could be researched unless you put it on a resume. So you will be fine.

    I don't think it matters all that much in a medical career. We need more Dr's and nurses so badly, that if you do well in school, you should have a pick of any job you want. Potential employers aren't going to look too closely at your non-medical related jobs prior to school, anyway.

    If possible, try to avoid working in clubs that require licensing. Some places are okay with just a standard business license, and that is fine, but if you need a special stripper license, that could be a problem down the road.

    I've been fingerprinted and background checked several times now, and know that will come up for any public service type jobs. I'm not worried, though.


    Promote yourself and earn more money! This is a business that is owned by strippers for strippers. Let's make that money!

    Even if they do cut you checks, that doesn't prove to anyone that you danced. SC's employ and cut checks to waitresses, bartenders, shot girls, door girls, massage girls, and club promoters.

    Im in school planning on being an RN and Im not really worried about it. There is such a need for RNs that I think they'd rather have me than no one. I am licensed in Reno but ya know, whatever.

    ^ but I have an adult entertainer's license

    It's a pretty constant source of worry. Strip, save money, finish school, go to law school, maybe have people find out and be ostracized... or not dance, be poor, never be able to finish school, and suck at life.

    having a license and breaking the law are two different things.

    do they make you 'declare' that license, or do they have to find it on their own?

    they've gotta be looking for such a thing to find it.

    here, they do a state and fed crim check... which is all that really matters.

    the voodoo people and child abusers don't exactly go crowing about what they're doing, and you better believe they get in.

    i say do the study, and take the chance. you're not a crim so no worries... (as far as we know) *eyebrow*

    I think it just depends on what exactly your goals are as to how much it may affect your career. Maybe narrow it down some - nurse or doctor, and what specialty?

    I just would be honest about everything unless there is NOOOOO way they could find out. You could make it through law school and not get past the bar if they find out you have an issue with honesty. I don't know about your specific state because every one is different. If you really are that worried about it you could find a lawyer in your state who specializes in bar hearings and maybe go for a consult.

    I though you just had to be honest with the bar but it stripping/misdemeanors/etc didnt matter? Oh course I dont know if its true... just what Ive heard.

    This stuff has really started to worry me, too. In the states, what does a background check usually consist of?

    Id just like to add that i danced at a club that did not put me on the payroll or anything, and when i recently pulled up my credit score the clubs name was listed under employers...
    im actually a little pissed about it cause i only worked there a short time..
    anyway, the field i want to go into(computers) probably wont be a big deal...

    the medical field might not be a big deal unless you want to specialize in children or family practice, might just be harder to get a job if they find out.
    just a thought.

    as far as law school.. eekk id be pretty nervous!
