    Charlie--Congratulations on landing the job!

    And thank you very much for starting this interesting and informative thread. Everyone has replied with intelligent contributions, opinions, and questions.

    I noticed that Teaze asked a question on page 2 about the definition of a Roth IRA and a SEP IRA.

    I'm no financial expert, by any means, but I did find this Web site that will give a start of an explanation:

    http://money.cnn.com/retirement/guid...ymag/index.htm

    Also, if anyone will google, "What is an IRA?" there are loads of links that will provide explanations.

    (I'm an old lady who has been a lurker on this site for a few weeks. I was a professional dancer many, many years ago. I had one [count 'em, one!] paying job as a tap dancer; I never stripped. [I loved dancing, but I never had the talent to dance as a career; I went to college and I've done very well in the corporate world.] I have great admiration for you young ladies who are using your talents to make your way in the world. As everybody's grandmother probably taught us, life is what you make it!)

    It's amazing how strong the pull is to return to dancing now that I've gotten a job. I'm like, so if I make ____ at my job PLUS ____ stripping, then I'd really be ahead of the game. Which is crazy, because I got this job to allow me to stay away from stripping!!

    I'm having these thoughts like, Well, if I just work once a month, then that covers my IRA...extra few thousand dollars a year to play with....Hmmm...

    But I don't need the money, and I definitely don't need to return to all of the club BS that I absolutely hated while I was immersed in it. Stripping is truly addicting!!

    ^^^ That's exactly what happens. Stripping morphs your sense of hourly worth in wages badly too.

    Congrats on the job though!

    Congrats Charlie! I'm glad you got the job and you'll be doing something that you find fulfilling (or if not, at least something that jives well with your major).

    You sound like a busy little bee, a job and a lot of volunteering. Does that equate to more than 40hours/week working?

    Good luck in your new position!

    Congrats Charlie!!!!!!!!

    I want to say that I did what Charlie did, only a few years ago. It definitely works. Stripping was for me a great way to earn money to pay for college, something my parents were not going to do. I started out just to make enough to pay for school. But, by applying myself to both my studies and to dancing, I made enough to more than pay for school. If you are not a career stripper, Charlie is offering some really good advice. All I would add is put your money in the bank every night. Make your money work for you, just as hard as you worked for your money.

    Congrats, Charlie!!!

    Although I genuinely do really enjoy stripping 95% of the time, I am definitely looking forward to getting my BA and MA and entering the work force as a teacher or professor. The idea of having a career where I really have to use my head is extremely appealing.

    im already scared about how will i be able to quit for good.... when i talk about getting started to my bf with a proper fashion job prob making $500 a week min im like imagine if i worked one night of the week dancing and made another $500 then i can double my income in a day!!
    and hes like isnt the point of getting a proper job is that you can quit dancing?

    so yeah arguements on that. i only been dancing a year and have 3 more ahead of me and i can tell you right now if anything, im gonna miss the fast cash

    congrats on the job though =]]

    Thought I'd update this thread...

    After working a mindless but 'legitimate' job for a month or two, I was recruited (off of Monster.com) by a large, innovative company that hires people with all sorts of majors. And I landed this incredible job (casual dress code, insane benefits, stunningly beautiful working environment, my own office, etc.)!

    I'm making great money, am using my brain, and am building my resume so that once I tire of this job, I'll be able to pursue new dreams.

    Just wanted to include my happy 'ending' to give hope to some people on this board who are struggling with school. It's funny, I'm still considering returning to stripping. I think it'd be more fun to strip for supplemental income instead of stripping to save up for future needs / current bills.

    Did I mention...my current job has a rule against hiring people without degrees and high GPAs? They don't mind what degree you have, as long as you have one. It proves to employers that you're willing to learn, you can dedicate yourself to working hard, and you value an education. Sure, some solid employers will take a chance on you if you don't have a degree, but this doesn't happen often these days...especially for applicants who have very little experience in their fields of interest. This is a hiring manager's market...they can afford to turn down people who don't have degrees since so many people are desperate for jobs!

    On the flip side, my SO is currently looking for a more challenging job than the one he currently has, and he does NOT have a college education. He has 15 years of experience as a software developer (15 YEARS!), and yet is STILL getting turned down by prospective employers because he lacks a degree. Thank goodness he found a position through personal connections...otherwise there's no way he'd have a job making $80k.

    This thread is exactly what I need to read right now! The semester just started and I'm about to go to school full time plus working at a restaurant and stripping when I have time. I'm lucky enough to have parents that care a lot about my education and insist that I go to a four year university so I have a degree. I think when you decide to go to college is up to you but personally I'm glad I went right after high school because going by how much my motivation has dropped,if I waited a year or two to go I never would have done it. I had a lot of help in high school with my college applications and everything so going right after high school was perfect for me.

    Anyway I'm not sure who else is going to school full time plus working but I'm determined to get good grades this semester and save my money!! That one will be a huge accomplishment for me.
