    Default What do you do for your day job?

    I know a lot of dancers who dance for extra money in addition to having a "real" job (like a hairstylist,nurse,receptionist,etc). So I'm just curious, what do you guys do besides dancing, for those of you that have another job? Which job do you like better? Does anyone at your other job know that you dance? Its always interesting to me hearing about other careers lol. Me, I'm currently just dancing, though in the past I have done retail and reception work which I got super bored with!

    Oh, and feel free to comment if you do other types of adult work (escorting, camming,modeling,etc) in addition to having a day job.

    I've done a bit of horse training on the side while dancing, will probably pick it back up when I move to a boarding situation again.
    Worked at the zoo, doing training/lessons/caring for their horses; that was totally unsustainable while dancing. Their part-time is 2 10s and an 8 hour shift, and it's physical labor basically, so I was too exhausted to dance more than 1 day a week.

    Hopefully going to do some substance abuse counseling work of some kind, be it paid or volunteer, in a couple months. Doing that 1 day a week should be helpful at keeping 1 foot in the real world.

    Very cool! Its important to keep one foot in the real world to keep you grounded when you're a dancer. Best of luck with the substance abuse counseling, seems like a really interesting job.

    Restaurant biz. It's so much grosser and crazier than strip clubs. Seriously. Tip your waitstaff and be nice to cooks and restaurant managers.

    Wow, I can't imagine working in the restaurant biz in addition to stripping! I know they are similar but restaurant work is such longer hours.

    ^ I've only ever worked around 5-6 hour shifts in a restaurant. That's the same as most dancers.

    Default Re: What do you do for your day job?

    I always worked in restaurants plus stripping plus school. But a few months ago I quit my restaurant job and said good riddance because it SUCKS. You have to deal with rude people with a smile on your face making $10/hour. I would get my paycheck and think "I could've made that in a couple hours at the club". I'm so glad I quit lol it was so stressful but it definitely made me appreciate the club more! Now I just have school, volunteering at physical therapy clinics (one for hours for grad school and the other just volunteer work) and stripping. I've always done something plus stripping but after I graduate in May I'm excited to JUST be working at the club for a while and nothing else. I'm excited to make a shit ton of money since I'll be able to work more!

    damn, kudos to you ladies who work two jobs! I have considered a day job, but I should really just be picking up more shifts at the club. Working on that currently, but this shit is draining

    Default Re: What do you do for your day job?

    Just recently started stripping and havent left my vanilla job yet but Im really tempted to. It's min wage but I do get to do somthing within my vanilla set of skills. At the same time the management is so sketchy and often skimps hours here and there from employees pay. That and one manager in particular keeps fucking up by not making a schedule and covering her ass by telling the higher ups that she did make a schedule and employees are no-call-no-showing . I wanna quit so bad but I feel like I need a cover and it would be smart not to have a hole in my resume.

    I've worked in the restaurant industry throughout my stripping career as well. At one point I was working 3 jobs, 2 in the restaurant bizz and stripping. Sometimes I get burnt out on dancing, but working in the food industry just reminds me how lucky I am to be able to make a couple weeks pay in a night!

    Wedding Industry.

    ( don't quote please, will edit later )

    And yes, for anyone wondering... Just like club customers, some brides are great and some are as nutty as they come.
    I use the same filtering strategies for both and even with that diligence sometimes end up with a nut!

    I teach kids ballet classes. Which is at night. After my day shift at the club, or just on the days I don't work. Besides for that,I've done the college student thing (Totally a job), tutoring, and worked as an event planner for a little bit. I also worked as a sexual assault advocate... but that didn't last long after a few survivors came in and went "You look familiar...".
