    Default Dancing to office job.. Real nervous.

    I have been putting my full attention towards getting an office job. I love to dance, LOVE IT, but I have been using my friend's car to get to and from work. Now that his boss is putting the pressure on him to work at a different location, he needs the car when I need it. I knew this was going to happen so it's not a shock. Still.. I'm kind of freaking out. One of the many reasons I love to dance is that I am allowed to have an opinion. If a customer pisses me off at the club, I can tell them to fuck off. I can be open about being kinky, an exhibitionist, a bitch. Once I get my foot in the door at a 'real' job, I'll have to shut that down. Before dancing, I worked plenty of retail jobs for many years, and hated it. And now I'm going to have to return to that? Eeek. The obvious answer is 'get a car,' but that's not an option. I have credit card debt that I'm paying off ASAP. What's the debt from? My attorneys! Because I'm going through a divorce. Yeah. I am not making any big purchases until the divorce is finished. I have a lot of trust issues so I only have a couple friends. They're all very supportive of my dancing and of me looking for work elsewhere, but they don't understand how much of a 'culture shock' this could be. I'm putting all my efforts into finding a new job, but I'm super nervous about having to put on a fake persona just to be able to have a stable job. Sounds like a spoiled complaint, but having that freedom to be me means a lot to me.

    Can you not still dance part time and find another way to get to work?, If you could do both maybe you could save up some money for a car, hope it all works out for you.

    sooner or later everybody has to deal with dickhead corrupt management and asshole customers, so maybe better to get used to it sooner rather than later?
    maybe try camming or clips? i find that i have to bite my tongue and suffer through a lot more bullshit when im stripping than even a regular job when it comes to customers and management, but with camming you are your own boss and there is a nice little ban button! not as much money, that's for sure, but could be a side thing.
    i was reading just the other day that retail is taking a HUGE hit financially, do you have a job already set up?

    Why not just take a taxi or driver? I'm sure there's a dancer or staff member at your club who could recommend a driver -- often they are cheaper than cabbing.

    What about getting a rental car until you've gotten yourself more situated? Some rental car companies will cut customers a deal if they know you intend on using the car for longer periods of time. Much cheaper (temporarily) than purchasing a used car in full, or even monthly payments on a new vehicle. Or depending on where you live would using a taxi be an affordable option?

    ^That reminds me: many cities also have car sharing services (VirtuCar in my city, just to give you an idea) where you pay into the group and can use a car when you need it. I'm not sure of the details, but it could be worth looking into if such an option exists in your city.
