hello there. this is probably going to be a half rant and half "i really need advice" post. .
well, first off, ive still got about 5 months to go before turning 21. i like stripping but im starting to get really tired, both physically and emotionally. i got hired at a gown club in the city that didnt care about my age and worked there for about 3 months until the thought of going to work reduced me to tears. the bouncers were nice but the managers were usually fucked up. i waited 3 months because i was trying to save up for traveling, christmas presents, art classes, etc.
jump to about 2 months after i quit. the classes had to be dropped, i couldnt get hired anywhere because im not 21 or im not qualified for part times, i used up what i saved and dont have enough for the months rent. i cant ask my family because they think i have an office job. so i get myself hired at a tiny dive. turns out, the managers are caring! theyre great! the girls are mostly friendly!
and... the money making potential is crap...there are no private rooms and we get half the lapdance money ($10)
since i started ive been coming home with about $200 a night on averate. after 2 months the most ive made after 9 hours is 315. there's been several times where ive come with 40 or even 20 because 1) sometimes there are no customers in the club and 2) i take a cab now, which is about 30. if i work 4 days a week i make 800 more or less but the past 2 weeks combined ive made 800, and girls there tell me that if i made 100 then its not a bad night! i considered working 5 days since i know a lot of girls do that, but its complete hell on my body.
i dont know if i should stick it out at this club. i cant get hired at any decent places because of my age. should i just risk traveling to work in another city? any ideas?

Especially if you can earn that in a low-stress way. I also gave up the upscale clubs in favor of a dive with less money, and that's about what I average, $200 a night. Yeah it's less than most people are making at the upscale clubs, but I couldn't be happier, bc it's $200 that I make stress-free, without having to hustle or worry about 'sales' bs. 


And I thought the OP is in a similar "just biding time" situation--in her case, until she turns 21. But yeah, I definitely agree dancing does change you.
