    Default What did you do for income before stripping?

    They have this thread in Camming Connection and I thought one for the dancers would be fun!

    I have danced on and off since I was 18, but had a LOT of other jobs interspersed... I get frustrated with stupidity and leave jobs often...

    ~ Denny's (waitress)
    ~ Krispy Kreme
    ~ Target (for like 2 weeks)
    ~ Defensive driving school admin staff
    ~ The Melting Pot, another snooty restaurant, and a country bar/steakhouse (waitressing)
    ~ Taught ballroom dance classes/"go-to" girl for a studio
    ~ Trained horses at a boarding stable

    Currently in between dancing, so:
    ~ "Professional student"... 5 years in, gack
    ~ Waiting tables at yet another restaurant
    ~ Prepping my family's arena/property so I can give riding lessons and train there
    ~ Next month I'll be working weekends at the Renaissance Festival as a booth manager for one of the acts

    My first job was at Cold Stone, lol.

    My second job was waitressing at a Coney Island restaurant (they're mostly in Michigan, they are cheap and very casual and this one was 24hrs so there were some very busy shifts).

    Then I got another waitressing job at a busy sports bar in an expensive location so money was much better but the hours and scheduling sucked.

    I got two more waitressing jobs at nice restaurants after that but I hated it.

    I like stripping MUCH better, despite all the bullshit it entails!

    -Too many waitressing/bussing jobs to list
    -Juggled on the street
    -Sold Art (still do)

    I've done a hell of a lot of short term jobs- cutting honeycomb for a beekeeper, farm work for 3 months, think I lasted 2 days as a magicians assistant, did cold calling for some insurance company..

    I've also had a couple of businesses. Ran an ebay store for a while, then everyone figured out how drop shipping worked and couldn't make money at that any longer. I also worked in the home construction field (building and selling spec houses).

    shit job at Dairy Queen, slightly less shit job at a grocery store, meh jobs in retail. I also taught pre-school, vacation bible school, and figure skating lessons. Some retail stores were pretty fun to work at, and teaching kids was fun but I need a better salary/hours than that now. Yay for nekkid dancing

    I cleaned a house for a crazy mother/older daughter. They would scream and attack each other every time. And always forgot to pay me and I always had to ask.

    Then I worked in a deli, became a zombie and hated hated HATED people and my life.
    Took a year off from working altogether (or was it 2 years...lol) and now I strip. A lot happier making more than minimum wage and only having to work 2 nights.

    I love this thread because everyone has apparently worked a slew of really shitty menial jobs that were all over the place. Strippers seem to be either ADHD or commitment phobic... or else just allergic to bullshit found in vanilla jobs.

    I did it right out of high school but also did the bikini barista thing and I just moved back after college and tried the twin peaks bartender thing so back to what it's easy and gives me what I want in life at this time.
