    Default College Student Makes $180,000 A Year Stripping Part-time

    Just found this recent article.

    http://www.abc2news.com/lifestyle/co...tripper-in-nyc

    College Park student will graduate debt free working part-time job as stripper in NYC

    NEW YORK - Maggie is an average college student who attends the University of Maryland, College Park.
    She does however have a not-so-average part-time job that helps her pay for college… and then some.
    She’s a student by day and an exotic dancer by night.
    “Sometimes a student by night and a stripper by day. It depends,” Maggie (no last name) said.
    She’s double majoring in Spanish and political science and unlike many of her peers at the University of Maryland, she will graduate debt free. Every other weekend she takes a three-hour train ride to Manhattan to a club where she dances.
    There is still a good segment of our society that believes it’s degrading to be a stripper, a reality that is not lost on Maggie.
    “It can be,” she said. “There are times that it feels like that.”
    But Maggie does take home, she said, about $180,000 a year—far more than the average college expense. And she's not alone. There are 24 other women at the same club where Maggie dances who say they’re also putting themselves through school.
    “My parents, when they found out, were totally horrified,” Maggie said.
    But Maggie said stripping has afforded her the time to study and she makes more in one night dancing than she does working 40 hours a week waiting tables.
    “I have felt so much more disrespected as a waitress than I ever have ever felt as a dancer,” Maggie said. “Because your job [in a restaurant] is to serve them and in this, your job is to accompany them.”
    Maggie said she knows she only has a limited number of years in this line of work.

    So she's a part time stripper who at least sometimes works day shift in New York and claims to make 180,000 a year...

    I'm not a big fan of the phrase, "Cool story bro" but if the shoe fits...

    ^^^ yet another mainstream news blurb to fire up New York's Income Tax Audit squad !!! Just like when the Orioles play the Yankees at home, living in Maryland will not spare her from having to pay New York income tax on money she earned in New York !

    Yeah, because she probably made more money than either of her parents...
    I'm right 96% of the time. I don't sweat the other 5% .......................

    i'd be more annoyed with how a lot of impressionable dumb young girls are going to read these stories and then flock to the clubs thinking that working 2 days a week on a dayshift they will be making 200 grand a year. ugh

    It is a good thing she will graduate debt free. A double major in Political Science and Spanish, will qualify her to flip burgers.

    Can any Manhattan dancers identify the dressing room? I think Scores has purple walls but I don't remember any elaborate locker decorations like those. Not that I want to change clubs, I make 4 mil working 1 Sunday dayshift a week.

    I have a feeling this is fake. I know that dressing room and it's definitely NOT Scores.

    Yeah it's Scores NYC.

    Here's another article.

    http://abcnews.go.com/college-students-strip-pay-tuition-costs

    Every other weekend, Maggie, who asked that her last name not be used, takes the three-hour ride from her college in Maryland to Manhattan, where she performs at a dance club called Scores.

    That's roughly 3,500$ a week. If she worked three days or nights a week, was a stone fox, and a consummate hustler in a busy club...theoretically possible.

    But I call bullshit.

    Yeah but in Manhattan, that's pretty much Wall Street. You probably have millionaire financial types going into that club to see the dancers. The Scores club is even mentioned on the Howard Stern Show.

    ^that's what I was thinking... I mean, I could make that each week working in LA, but not just working 3 nights (more like 5/6 nights!) unless I was really really lucky! She would have to be making $1,000+ EVERY night she works... that's just kind of unbelievable. And if it's 180,000 AFTER taxes, well then it's a fucking fairytale.

    Exactly. I work with many women who regularly pull in over a grand a night. But not every single night, without exception, like clockwork. Which is what it would take.

    Oh, I thought she claimed to only work weekends. In the second article it says she works 4 nights a week, which seems excessive for her schedule and commute, but whatever. There was a ton of money at Scores when I worked there... but for the most part, dancers "worked" for it. I'll never forget having a heart to heart with a work friend when she said "Doesn't it suck being one of the only clean dancers here? I wish I could get over it and do more than handjobs."

    I believe her. She's working at scores, which is notorious for extras, especially in the VIP's. Enough said.

    She is fucking and sucking her way though college, while dancing. She's going to graduate debt free.... well so will I, it's called financial aid.

    I MAY believe this story if those 180K are her GROSS annual income. For that area, that much money a year make sense. If she was dancing in NoVa instead of NYC, then, I'd call BS.

    Substract the following:

    -Taxes
    -Insurance
    -Business expenses (outfits, shoes, makeup, etc.)
    -Commute (not including car payment)

    When you look at it like that, is not THAT impressive.

    As was mentioned, she may pull that money if she provides some hefty extras. I worked in NYC with a girl who did extras heavily and she pulled $3-5 G a night. Besides her there were two more girls who managed it. The rest made $1000 plus or less.

    I still think it's fake.

    That said in general, dancers should really stay quiet about their income. Fkn dumb.

    LMAO So she only works 26 weekends a year, sometimes on day shift, and makes $180,000 a year. That would mean she averages just under 7,000 a weekend. Consistently.

    Oh, she's going to regret these lies when the tax man gets his hands on her.

    Scores was having serious problems retaining dancers and business was awful last fall. They actually hired a team of publicists to try to solve this. Maybe they put her up to it?

    However, back in the day her earnings would be plausible if she worked four days a week as a clean dancer, or a couple as a host's favorite extras girl.

    Lol. These were my thoughts exactly when I read the article.

    Edit: That dressing room looks kind of like the one in the Hustler's club. Somehow I feel like their actual dressing room had more lighting, but the lockers look the same except without the flower and butterfly stickers.

    No doubt. Dancers often lose sight of the fact that being paid in cash for tips and 'extras' cuts both ways. The IRS can't conclusively prove that a particular dancer had X amount of cash earnings in addition to club payouts for rooms, funny money, customer credit card charges etc. which are reported to the IRS via 1099-misc forms. But on the flip side, if the IRS makes a case that cash earnings must be Y ... based on bank deposits, credit card payments, tuition payments, lifestyle, etc. ... the dancer has no way to conclusively prove that she did NOT actually earn as much cash as the IRS estimates.

    Besides the possibility of inflated income, I am happy I watched the video and read the article. It made me feel better about putting myself through college AND still stripping after college. It's really hard for me to remember sometimes that I DON'T need to conform to all of society's standards.
