So I’ll try to make it as short as possible.
I started dancing when I was 21. To friends that did know about it I said that this is my way to pay for college, which was very true but aside from that I also wanted to have fun and make money.
After about two years stripping and making great money, I basically got burnt out, hung my g strings and took a year off. I worked nowhere and was just going to school. I was spending and living off the money I made during my stripper “career”. Fast forward, I got my bachelors and with this I got a 9-5. I do like it. It’s definitely not as fun as striping but it’s a good job. The money I make at thist job is OK. It seemed ok especially when I just got out of college. I always thought that with experience my salary will keep increasing but unfortunately in my particular industry it’s just not true. There’s a ceiling and that ceiling is low.
Long story short, the degree that i got in college is not the kind of degree that will make me good money ever. It will always suck basically and this is something that I made a mistake in. I feel like I’ve done things wrong. I basically stripped to get a useless degree.
So I figured I’d just go back to school and change careers. I don’t have 20k laying around tho so I was wondering if it’d be a good idea for me to go back to stripping, get my other degree and pick up an internship in the new field, so that when I’m done with school I know I’ll have good job waiting for me. I have done my research and I know that this new education I’m looking to get would be better for me both financially and mentally.
Going back to stripping and quitting my current job is hard decision for me tho. I don’t know if it’s the right move. Becoming a stripper will provide the money and flexibility to go to school and have an unpaid (or not well paid) internship.
Quitting my job on the other hand will look strange to future employers on the resume, as it will result in employment gap.
Since I can’t share with anyone else, I figured I’d post here and see what people think. Anyone else been in familiar situation? Have any advice?
