    Default Is it worth it for me?

    Please do tell me if I am being overly paranoid. I am super scared of raids. I am in Miami area and two month ago we had a raid in one of the clubs here. Now I am double scared. I already quit working Fridays and Saturdays and I quit working nights all together, because I think those days and times are "high-risk". I only need to strip for one more year and a half and after that, I'll be able to get a good high-paying vanilla job, but for now the vanilla job I can get is not going to cover even half of my bills.
    In case of a raid, I cannot phantom going to jail or being charged with anything. My record absolutely has to be crystal clear. I know that none of you can actually say: "do this", but based on the info I have given you about my situation, what are you thoughts? Like if you were me, would you consider working Sundays and Mondays during the day (for example) or would you quit stripping all together?

    Thanks for the input.

    I think a raid can happen any time, depends on the situation. Look up posts by Melonie, she is excellent w/that stuff. I think there's a thread around about "states w/low vice___" something like that.
    To me, the only sure thing is not to work in an sc @ all, or, save up $ for a retainer for an attorney.
    Can you try bar tending or waitressing (not in an sc) for awhile?
    Also, in Club Chat, there's the thread about Wonderland in Miami.

    Agree ^^^^ Sm areas/clubs obviously are higher-risk than others, but the possibility of getting raided is just one of those things that always has to be weighed no matter where you go.

    Can you not travel to an area that's a little more chill until things settle down in Miami?

    Miami and Ft. Lauderdale are kinda the only options for me, because anything more north is closer to home. and closer to home means my friends might be there and they don't know and it will all just be awkward....
    Because going to Hallandale, which is technically Broward county won't make much difference, won't it?
    Anyways, still thinking what to do. Thanks for the input!!

    She can, but there's no guarantees.

    There's no guarantees anywhere, but if anywhere's better than Miami right now, why not try Key West? There's sm recent info in Club Chat.

    If you're that nervous, what about working in another state for like 2-3 months and saving the $ and living off those savings till the vanilla job pulls through? (I suggest this because it's kinda what I did, not for the same reasons, but if you seriously want to consider that as an option send me a PM and I will give you details about the club where I worked.)

    Ya'll are right, there are certainly no guarantees. Still, I have seen the difference between working in a club w/ extras that you know could get raided for good reason vs working in a clean club, but still in a city known for extras vs working in a clean club in a clean city with management that is making sure everything is run super legit. The various circumstances can really have different effects on ones nerves, and our jobs are already stressful enough for what they are, if other concerns can be limited it takes a great weight off. (That has been my experience.)
