Woah, this is old. I wonder how the OP is doing now, more than 2 years into her career as a Lawyer? Be interested in an update!

i think it's really great when dancers who are using dancing as a transitional job follow through with their plans and are successful.




I-N-D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-T do you know what that mean?
She got to her own house
She got her own car
Two jobs work hard you a bad broad
I'm getting divorced I need a lawyer and would love to hire you!




Congratulations, I am smiling for youand your story warms my heart.
I'm inspired by your post. I would love your advice on my situation: I'm a college graduate and I'm currently a teacher, barely able to make ends meet. I really need extra cash, and I need it NOW, desperately. I work in WA state 40hrs a week with elementary school kids: I love this job, and want to keep it, but I NEED to pay my bills! Also, my parents are disabled and out of work- they can't help me. From what I understand, stripping/sex work is the only thing that pays well and fast- even if its temporary, do you think its worth it?

Piggie Lover, I am also in the education field. Dancing is a great money making opportunity but your colleagues could judge you if they found out so I'd work out of town. That's my plan. I'm a grad student and find this thread to be very inspirational.
I cringe at the term "sex work" but I guess it is what it is.
First, establish your personal boundaries.
Second, familiar yourself with your states laws regarding "sex work".
I remember working with a school teacher. She drove 2 hours from where she lived to avoid being "spotted". In my opinion, stripping was worth it, I really enjoyed it, and it fit into my lifestyle, but I knew I never wanted to pursue a low paying career in teaching, dealing with other peoples kids. I was a natural entertainer. Going farther such as extras or prostitution, or dabbling in anything that would be hard to defend in court would NOT be worth it! And that is where I established my personal boundary from the start. You kind of have to develop a code and stick to it because temptation is all around, and if you are naive, you could get hurt. Have fun entertaining, but know you are not for sale.

that's sweet! I wonder if she still has her old email, maybe she'll check in and let us know how things have gone!





I LOVE stories like this!

I'm also a stripper-turned-lawyerAs much as I looooooooooooove my new career (Ive been a lawyer for 1 1/2 years now) I still miss stripping and it's truly an adjustment. Like the OP said, money as a lawyer will only increase while money as a dancer when you get older...well...most of the times it does the oposite. BUT that doesn't take away the fact that I truly miss dancing and I totally would go back apart from the fact that it could potentially affecy my career...
All that being said, I do encourage every dancer out there to finish ( or start! ) school. Education is never a waste![]()
I didn't tell anyone about it and that was definitely the nest bet for me. I lice in a conservative government city and it could really affect my career if the word got out. Volunteering is a fantastic idea and I suggest you keep at it during law school. Just stripping while studying wont get you a job or an articling position after law school. Take a sumner job in a law related field or as an intern at a law firm. You may not make as much $ but the experience is SO important!! In the long run you'll end up making more money as a lawyer til you're 55 than as a stripper til you're... I dunno...35? I realize the age can vary but unless someone wants to be a career stripper- law school is the way to go if you're thinking about it and was the best education I believe I could have gotten for myself.
Oh- and they did a security check to ensure I didn't have a criminal record in Canada or abroad but not a detailed personal background check.

Shelter totally works, I wouldn't tell them you're a stripper - admission committees tends to be risk adverse. Unless you apply for the CIA, most background checks are just criminal history and degree verification, so no worries about the dancer gig hurting your shot.

I'm not sure if the original poster of this thread is still here, but I'm curious. Did you have to disclose stripping when you were taking the bar? I don't know much about the whole process of getting licensed to practice law, but I was under the impression they do pretty extensive checks into your background.
