    Default I want a future job in the veterinary field. How will stripping affect this?

    Hi all, this is my first time being on this forum. I just wanted to ask a question, I've seen this asked many times before, and I apologize..but how will stripping affect my future career, namely in the veterinary field? Does anyone have experience with that field specifically? I'm super young, I just moved to a new city, got a room I couldn't afford, can barely find a good paying jobs and the ones I did find pay nothing and would require me to work 6-7 days a week which I think could affect my health very negatively....long story short, I talked to my boyfriend, he's ok with it, and I'm considering stripping and working one part time job 2 nights a week so I wouldn't have an employment gap on my resume. I considered maybe after working as a vet tech/assistant for awhile teaching, but I'm worried this might affect that. I don't know if I should do this. Would veterinary places really care that much about it as long as I have the skills required for the job? I want to volunteer in the mean-time. And if I found a job and stayed there for a few years after stripping, at that point wouldn't it be so long ago that they wouldn't care? I really want to think long and hard about this before I risk it, but I want to hear your guys' opinions. I would not put it on my resume, but of course some places do background checks. If I asked my former employer to say I was a cocktail waitress if they called, would that lessen the chances of me losing an opportunity?

    Well, as long as your boyfriend is ok with it; and as long as he gave your father the proper number of goats for you. Animal Doctors (Which you are assisting an not tying to become one of) should totally be ok with you shaking your tits two nights a week in secret since they are not willing to pay you a proper wage that would afford you normal lifestyle in your area. All sounds legit. Def. don't put it on your resume because that is intrinsically linked to your criminal background and the whole world would find out you were a criminal stripper/whore/degenerate loser.

    In all seriousness, are you serious? I am sorry if I am being a mean, flaming bitch- but what is it you want of us?? To pat you on the head and tell you its ok to strip and be a vet tech at the same time??? Cocktail waitress at a titty bar is not any less "whorish" than being a stripper. How old are you? I'm dumbfounded. As much as I want to help you I don't know how to reply.

    I never said it was whorish....and obviously I don't think there's anything wrong with it if I would want to do it myself. And I never said I'd do both at the same time, I would strip until I got into a career as a vet tech. But the reality is, society is mean and sexist and employers can be assholes. I don't think it's insane to strongly consider a job before I jump in. I'm 18 years old, I'm broke, and I'm scared. Do not judge me for wanting to smartly think a career decision through.

    I'm not judging you. I used the word "whorish". I am asking for you to clarify your question(s). The fact that you are only 18 answers a lot of my questions; however we still do not know where in the world you are; which can have a huge effect on how society, as a whole- will treat you. Just as an FYI you can leave jobs off of your resume

    Well, regarding background checks you're going to have to work at a club that doesn't issue 1099's which is becoming less and less and the money is better in clubs that do issue 1099's.

    I think you are wise to consider that having a gap in your employment record may affect you later. It matters.

    You would probably have to work at a club that didn't keep track of your earnings and issue a 1099. Some cities/municipalities require a license too but the records aren't made public. Yet. Which we all hope never happens.

    The quicker you accomplish your goals and the shorter your stripping career, the less chance of it catching up to you further down the road.

    I'm dealing with this issue now that I've graduated. I'm just lying and saying that I'm still working at my last job at a gym. I've put down a friend who is willing to lie for me as a referee but if they Google the number of the gym instead of the direct number for my friend that I have listed I'm screwed.

    Hm...yeah, I'm thinking the longest I will strip will be only 6 months to a year at worst. How does the 1099 thing work? If you don't get a 1099 form how do you pay your taxes? What do you list them under? And for the employment gap I was considering just keeping my part time job hosting 2 nights a week to cover that up...but then what if they do a background check and they find my other job? I'm sorry if I seem puzzled I'm so new to all of this.

    Background checks with most professional licensing agencies just look at your criminal record. They don't hire a PI to check out every detail of your life; they just want to see if you're a wanted murderer three states over. So as long as you don't get any charges while dancing, a basic background check will not screw you over.

    Some places are a little more thorough and do a hard pull of your credit report. This might include anything you listed as your job when you applied for things like a credit card or housing. So if you want to get a new AMEX card and you call up an agent and say, "Hi, I'd like to open an account. Yes, my occupation is being a stripper. That's s... t... r... i--," then you're going to possibly have some problems.

    Don't be deterred by a 1099. A club that issues a 1099 isn't going to slap "showed her titties for cash at Club Sluts R Us" on your paperwork. They'll likely have an alternative name they use for business purposes. So you'll be labeled as an independent contractor for R&P Industries or Rick's Steakhouse or whatever. If you're nervous, you can ask the manager if they have a DBA for tax purposes when you apply.

    Don't prostitute, don't do drugs, don't drink on the clock and drive home, be aware of local laws regarding dancing, and don't ever advertise that you dance. Seriously, don't give people information than can use to fuck you over later. You seem bright enough to make money and keep sight of your goals, so I wish you tons of luck and lots of money.

    Yeah, this was pretty mean, dude. Come on, we were all naive baby strippers at some point. I'm not seeing too much other difference between this newbie post & some of the other stuff that we see posted threads over & over -but by veteran dancers. Leave it be, right

    Thanks! That's relieving to know. If I'm listed as an independent contractor and say future job sees it on the background check and asks me about it, what's the explanation for that? Telemarketer?

    ^It could be any number of things. Website design, tech support, writing, graphic design, promotions, etc. I would pick something you're actually good at, just in case. For example, I did independent contractor work revamping websites. That's a true statement, and if I was working at a vet's office, had that on my resume, and they asked me if I'd be willing to revamp their site too, I'd be able to do that without an issue. But if I told them I did work translating sites into Spanish and they asked me to do that for them, I'd be screwed, because I do not speak Spanish well at all.

    From what I understand veterinary technicians are in great demand and since you're not working with human patients, or teaching children, I don't see how it would be a big deal even if they did find out (which I doubt they would in a run of the mill background check). I would keep it quiet and try to graduate asap. I danced with a girl who was a vet tech by day/dancer by night and she didn't seem to have any problem with the vet clinic finding out. You're only 18 and if you're in school I wouldn't worry too much about resume gap.

    Stripping isn't like most jobs. Most clubs don't issue any paper trails about you at all, unless you work for a large chain like Rick's or Deja Vu, so there's really no way for anyone to tell what you've been doing unless you get licensed or get issues paperwork as such. If these are your main concerns, I would ask the manager you interview with about tax reporting, etc. Now, if you decide to waitress instead, there may be a paper trail, as they have to pay you a a minimum wage=paychecks which get filed via W2s to the IRS.

    Just lie and say you were a babysitter for a friend to cover the gap in employment, someone you trust who will provide you with a reference. No one will really care that much beyond that unless you have a legit criminal history.

    Hope this helps, good luck. PS--since you're 18 no employer will probably check back more than 3-5 years of your employment history, at least not in healthcare/veterinary services (at least not in my experience, and I am licensed by the state for my job). And honestly, people expect you to make "silly" decisions at this age anyway; you could always chock it up to that if it ever were an issue.

    Tbh I think the OP has asked quite a valid question, I have no idea why you're being so mean.

    As a Vet Tech? No problem. That is one of the few jobs that actively advertises to ex-felons.

    Since stripping is a legal profession, I don't think it will be an issue at all.

    You're putting the cart before the horse here. 1st, decide if stripping is something you can do before worrying about filing taxes. A lot of girls don't make it past the first couple of weeks.

    Yes, sorry I was a little rude and I apologize. I think it was the "my boyfriend is ok with it" that set me off. Yes, we were all young and naive but I really think today's teenagers have backslid in the common sense, and self reliance departments. Anyway, to give my two cents without being an asshole -to the OP and anyone else with this type of question- you should not put anything strip club club related on a resume unless you worked in some administrative capacity. If you are going to be doing volunteer work at the same time, this will eliminate resume gaps. Also, anyone male or female can always list "homemaker" to cover any gaps. I've done this and it is effective as no one can ask you anything about it. (In the US anyway, where it is illegal for a potential employer to ask about familial status or children)

    The bigger issue here- a lot of vets don't make tons of money. Some large animal docs do, but most don't. I doubt you will have problems since plenty of space cadet types work in forest service, resource management & vet offices. (I know what I'm taking about here.) Being a ex- stripper would be more hilarious to these types than scandalous.
