    My bff's mom (she's in her mid 40's) is still an escort (she has been doing it for over 15 years) and had managed to keep herself in good shape. If she could do it, I can see other women doing it too.

    I'm sorry but why would you want to be an escort all your life. This is supposed to be a means to an end. It's supposed to help you get to a better place. I wouldn't want to be an escort for the rest of your life. Please learn a trade or something and use the money you make through the business to set yourself up for a better life. Just my two cents.

    I've had the pleasure of getting close to quite a few 35+ year old women in this business. What you've described (your 52 year old friend) is not the norm. Escorting can be hard on your body and psyche long term. Most of the older ladies I met stayed in the business for 10 years or more because it was all they knew. Their lives were often unfulfilled and they felt trapped. The majority of those who wanted families passed up relationships through the years because they were "too busy making money" only to regret their decision later on. And despite the fact that they could still book appointments, they continued to see their earnings dwindle year after year. It's nearly impossible to earn enough for full retirement.

    It's best to work with a goal in mind. Successful independent escorts are self-starters with a strong business acumen. Start saving towards a small (non-adult) business based on your passion. At least when it's all said and done you'll not only have a steady income to support you for the rest of your life but something to pass on to your daughters as well.

    I realize escorting sounds like this exciting, glamorous lifestyle but remember there is a downside too. Sometimes you're so busy chasing money and making clients happy you lose focus of your dreams. Be careful not to get caught up and remember to make an exit plan.

    Not that I want to admit this but there is alot of truth in this. I made this job a career and for a good 10 years I made poor money decisions...I am one of those 30-35 year old dancers..I am a vet...I am somewhat prepared for my exit out of this business...However I think of the fact that theres still money to be made...But the sad truth is many of the regs n the clubs have seen me for years and dont tip me...Right now I am going thro alot of changes and alot of stress in my personal life which is not helping my looks any at the moment...Which in turn isnt helping my longevity n this business...Lost sleep due to stress doesnt help ur looks when ur over 30...For me personally, I believe I will slowly transition out and into something else...Its hard tho when nothing else is as appealing as dancing money-wise and time wise..Thats what makes it so hard to exit the business..I just want to leave on a good note once I finally do...I want to leave in good physical shape, at an ideal weight, and still able to keep a crowd if there is one n the bar...I want to go out still looking hot for being n my 30s..not look haggard, fat, etc...

    If you are good with your money, I think you are placing way too much emphasis on age. You say that at 30, you feel like you either have to make this into your life-long career or just do something different. 30 is not the be-all-end-all for deciding on a career for the rest of your days. For most people who are working salaried but not particularly high-paying jobs, maybe it is, because they need to start saving for retirement. But if you are making big escorting bucks and tucking away a good chunk of the money, you could easily do this for 5-10 years (if your psyche holds up), and still transition to something else afterwards. I don't know where BlkSharpie's been recently, but isn't she turning 40 and is now quitting escorting after completing a degree for some other job?

    Maybe you will love escorting into your 50s, who can say? But that is a long ways ahead for you to know right now how this job is going to take its toll. In threads like these, I always like to tell the story of my friend from high school. She forwent college because she got a high-paying job at a factory that she loved. She would go on and on all the time about how she loved her job, loved her money - was thinking about just trying to work her way up there because it was such a perfect job, yada yada. This was the first 3 years. During year 4, she started to hate everything about it. Year 5 came, and she used up her entire year's worth of vacation in the first 2 months because she couldn't bring herself to go in. She finally quit, had to cash out her retirement savings from them because she had none of that "good money" saved, and is now working part-time at Walmart and is dreading going back to school after being out for so long and lamenting that she didn't just go to school while she was working at the other, well-paying job, so she wouldn't be stuck where she is now that she quit. Moral of the story: No matter how awesome something seems at first, you never know when burn-out will hit. So save your money and have an exit plan. Always give yourself a choice so you don't feel stuck if something were to happen.
    Don't try to win over the haters. You are not the Jerk Whisperer.

    Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
