Hi!
I've been lurking here for a while just trying to absorb all the information I can. This forum is a great resource for people considering stripping.
Stripping has been on my mind for about a year now, and I think it's something I would really enjoy (I have years of ballet, tap, jazz, hip hop and GoGo experience) and the flexibility would suit my lifestyle. However, I'm kind of scared to take the plunge for some pretty serious reasons.
1) I'm currently in school and intend to go to law school after I finish my BS. I want to be an attorney for a corporate firm or private practice. I'm worried that the background check for the State Bar will turn me down if I strip. I know from reading here that it's unlikely that they would find anything unless they required me to fill out a IRS form, but being that the legal profession is heavily regulated and do have "unprofessional conduct" rules, which I assume sex work would fall under, that makes me nervous.
2) I'm currently in a custody battle with my ex, and the judge assigned to my case has a reputation for siding with the father. I'm worried that this judge might be a mysoginist and will give my ex custody based on being a stripper.
3) Speaking of my ex, he's a wanna-be gangster who used to go to clubs in our area when we were dating specifically to sell the dancers drugs. He also told me a while back after we broke up (not sure how true this is) that he was pimping strippers from clubs. If he's still up to this BS, it's likely that I would run into him at the club, given that there's only 5 clubs in my state.
4) My current boyfriend isn't super excited that I want to strip. He's dated dancers in the past, and said while the job itself didn't make him uncomfortable, he has never personally met a stripped who didn't do extras and definitely doesn't want me doing extras. I wouldn't, but I feel like it would always be on his mind.
All this considered, I'm currently in a shit financial situation and need to make money quickly. I have a job as a waitress, but I'm not making as much as I need and management keeps screwing up my schedule.
What would you do if you were me?
Thanks
