    an apprentice would not even get half of that
    If they are union, a fully licensed electrician can average around $45 an hour plus a very generous benefits package. Prevailing wage is very generous. A ditch digger earning prevailing wage will make at least $20 an hour.

    An electrician who works for a residential housing contractor (or similar like building maintenance) outside of the union or prevailing wage jobs will earn about half of the hourly and receive no benefits. So you are both correct, it just depends on the situation.

    This thread is getting off-track. We all got caught up in the numbers and forgot to ask basic questions about the OP's hustle / appearance.

    OP - I had some questions on the previous page that might help us give you an idea of why your earnings ceiling seems to be lower than the other girls'.

    I second this motion. Other girls have given some great advice about moving on if you're not being paid, not being so hard on yourself, and considering the club and the idea that other dancers may not actually be making as much (consistently) as you think. If this is a new club, you could just not be used to the way it works yet, or need to improve some things about yourself regardless. It can take awhile to get your look the best way for you, or figure out the best hustle for your personality, or even to decipher the exact atmosphere of a particular club and what would work best there vs. elsewhere. It's a learning curve, but I'm sure if you give a little more information, we can help you figure it out faster.
    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.

    Have you tried switching clubs? My personal experience has been that I'll do great at some clubs but not at all of them I've tried. For instance the club I work at now is not working out for me at all. I've only had a few good nights there & I try my best when I'm there. I dunno, maybe try somewhere else for a bit, good luck

    Sometimes it appears like girls make more money than you but that may not be the case. Also, it only takes one guy to have a "miracle night" all my 1000-2000$ nights have been from one or two guys who just happens to like me. I've seen girls of all shapes and sizes have good and bad nights. The VIP top earner girls at my club sometimes walk out with 60$ too. Some girls also say they make 500$ in 12 seconds even though they have been sitting in the DR gossiping the whole time just to kill your vibe.

    PS. Most of my college educated friends don't even make 110$ a night. It just happened at an inconvenient time. The struggle is real I'm going through shit financial issues which fuck with my self image as well.

    i almost never break a grand either. i think i've done it once or twice, my club just isn't set up for that to be an easy nightly goal. i'm kind of in the same boat as you tho, i'm not seeing an increase in earnings after 3 years of dancing and its bothering me.
    i suggest switching up your hustle. try something totally new. also go in with a different outfit, hairstyle/color/makeup. make yourself feel irresistible. if what you are doing right now isn't working, then do something different!
    the girls that i see making the most money at my club are the tenacious ones who assume the sale and take charge of the situation..they just don't take no as an answer. or the ones who get slightly touchy and use a sexual tone when hustling ;and no i'm not talking about crotch grabs. i'm talking drawing attention to their boobs, whispering in the customers ears, touching their shoulders. most of all, not being afraid of rejection and confident in themselves.

    ^^ This. The girls who brag the loudest a lot of times aren't really making jack.
