Ok, so here is my situation:
I danced for 6yrs straight. No breaks.
Due to my having just paid $2,500 for a bar prep program, having to get a new car (guy ran a red light and totaled mine. got a new car, but insurance only paid part of it), and my mother losing her job, I need money fast. I graduate law school in May, take the bar in july and working during bar prep is not an option. I have my bills paid till 1 month after my bar exam, but i need more saved up, badly, so i am not going "omg i might be homeless" after the bar. No, i did not save up from dancing before...it was not my primary income, it was to pay other bills, and offset some things (i.e. reduce how much student loan i needed to take). It was not a full time job at any point. Most I worked any given week was 24hrs...usually four 6hr shifts. I never did it with the idea of saving up, so please dont bitch at me about that.
I need 4k as soon as i can get it.
I have to go back to dancing. I hate this. I have already had a panic attack at the idea.
I did ok, not a top earner, but very regular, decent money without any real heavy "hustling." I was one of those who just was not good at it ( i tried 100%, trust me). I am in good shape (avatar is me) and am smart. I don't play dumb well, at all. I was always a managers/ DJs favorite. I am a 100% clean dancer.
I will be going back to the last club i worked at. auditioning this week. they do lapdances. its a full nude w/ alcohol club.
i also model, but that is so 'come and go' that i cannot assume 'X' amount per month in income. its good money, but not consistent enough.
I was hoping some you ladies might have advice on how to deal with and maximize this time. I am sick with the idea of going back, but realize that right now it is my best option for making the money quickly. A regular job is not an option as i would need to quit in 2 months and i am not going to do that to an employer.
Any tips on how to make the most of this? Or even just how to keep myself from freaking out/panicking/etc? I can only work wednesday nights and weekends due to my school schedule. After the 1st of june, i will only be able to work fri/sat/sun nights. I want the most money in the shortest period of time.
I guess i just want some thoughts/advice or even stories from girls who have dealt with similar
If it makes any difference, I have been out of dancing for 13months. not worried about getting hired, worried about losing it 3 weeks into doing it again. when i quit, i was 110% burned out, and everyone around me could tell the toll it had taken on me.
