A former DJ at the club where I just started asked me this last night, after I told him I'm married. I was sitting out on the patio smoking with another dancer and him, and he asked why I didn't just get a "normal" job and why I would torture my husband by being a dancer. It really pissed me off.
If I could make the same money, and have the same flexible schedule, at a "normal" job, sure I would. But why should I have to go through the psychological torture of working 40 hours a week doing something I hate to earn in a month what I can make in a week (maybe less) as a dancer? I've done that before, and it sucked, so what's wrong with doing this while I can? Plus, I'm going to have to be gone for weeks at a time to take care of my ill mother in another state, and I couldn't do that at any normal job, on any regular basis. Dancing, if I need to take off for 3 weeks, I can, plus I can probably dance in a club near where she lives and make money while I'm there helping her.
Anyway, just really irked me and I needed to rant.

I'm flattered that I've inspired his music.
