    Default How far would u travel to work at a decent club??

    Let's say u work in an area where either every club is dirty, in a ghetto neighborhood and the money is bad unless ur a whore. That's where I live. I'm leaving the city I think for good this time as far as working the clubs, I ll drive an hour I don't care any more. How far would u go to work at a club??

    Since I rely on public transportation, not very far - half hour bus ride, tops, I'd say. If I had a car I would probably feel differently though. I know some girls who work an hour or more away from where they live. This has the added benefit of making it less likely to run into someone you don't know.

    Before I landed and made my new city home I drove 6.5 hours and 432 miles every week to dance here one way. Sometimes just for the weekend. I kept it up for 8 months tracking my earnings and saving more and more $. Then after I started staying for longer, 20-30 days, I realized there was no point in leaving here to go home where I had only limited sources of income. I made the move and I'm glad I did.

    the club I work at now is 2 hours away from where I live. I wouldn't go much further than that. it's a pain in the ass to drive that far when it's 3am and you're tired as hell, but I love the fact that I will NEVER run into anyone I know.

    For about 10 months .... I traveled three hours away. 95% of the time, I'd plan 2-3 days trips to make sure it was worth it and about 30% of the time, I had my dancer friend with me so we could share a hotel and gas money.

    Damn...your dedication blows me away! I mean, I had problems dragging myself to work when my club was 5-30 minutes away from my home.

    sometimes driving an extra hour is REALLY worth it. if you make 100 bucks a night at a local club and can make 3-5 times that easily at a club that's 2 hours away I mean...why not? you're spending 20 bucks on gas a day but you earn your money back and then some. not every area is equal for strip clubs unfortunately

    30 min or so would be my limit. I hate driving at night and wouldn't want a long drive home.

    My old club was a 45 minute drive to (and 30 back cause no traffic at night) from my house, it was perfect, far enough away I felt super comfy that I wouldn't run into anyone but still not far enough to be a hassle, and it was super perfect. Now, at school I have to take public transit so my options are limited either to what clubs are on/near 24hr bus routes or a cheap cab ride but thats ok I live pretty near most of the clubs here, but I do feel a lot more paranoid I will run into someone working so close to where I live :s

    my current club is 25 mins or so.

    i used to do what other ladies on here did, plan 2-3 day trips, and drive 4 hours to work the weekend, then 4 hours home. the money was worth it.

    I travel 30-45 mins to get to my club. I'd be willing to go further if it meant a better club, more money, etc., but my biggest problem is that I hate driving for so long when I get off work late, and I'm super tired (afraid I'll make a mistake while driving or fall asleep at the wheel).

    In the OP's situation, though, you'd probably be a lot happier and more successful if you drive the extra distance. It's always worth it to be at a club you like.

    what I do to avoid falling asleep while driving is to drink a 0 calorie monster energy drink. it perks you up just enough for the drive home and once you get home you just pass out unless you're super sensitive to caffeine.

    The most I've driven was 1 1/2 hours. I did it for about 3 months, 4 times a week. I was burnt out by the end! That was exhausting. I did it by myself though. I also drove to a club 1 hour away for about 4 months with another dancer. It was a little better with another dancer, but I still got burnt out driving so far. You ladies who can drive long distances to work for years are amazing!

    I drive 1 hour and 20 min and the money is decent , the club is semi dirty, but at least the girls keep most of that in the back (champagne room). It's a far cry from the clubs I've worked in the past, but they don't seem to exist anymore. Seems like everywhere has gone down hill. I just need to keep it up for 2.5 years till I get my degree.

    I use to drive from Tampa 4 1/2 hours back and fourth to Miami(sometimes fly) and from Tampa to Vegas via airplane. Not one trip wasn't worth it.

    I used to fly about 1 hr and 15 mins every wed and fly back every sun. I stayed in shitty hotels or rented a mega cheap room. It was worth it at the time. When it stopped being worth it, I decided to work in my own city.

    I spent most of 2010 driving 2.5 hours on Friday, staying there for the weekend, and driving home in the middle of the night after work on either Saturday or Sunday.

    I used to drive 90 miles to my club. Get a hotel and work for three nights (hustling my ass off), and coming home to enjoy the rest of my week.

    ^ Let us know how it goes! That exactly the length my commute was ( there were actually three spots I'd travel to and all roughly three hours away ) . I kind of miss my on the road lifestyle sometimes ! I remember it being hard hard work, but it's also nice to just "check out" of your life and hustle hustle hustle until you are satisfied !

    45 minutes there, 30 minutes back. I would travel an hour and a half to work at Scarlett's if I had family to help me with my daughter, but I don't...

    I can't drive, so I live and work very close, but I often travel to a different country to work for a few weeks or months.
