Even if I had a high paying regular, I'm just tapped out of dealing with the biz for now. I've got the big things I needed other than paying my house off, the career I wanted since I was busy working non vanilla all the time, and the IRS for last year. At the very least, I need a LONGGGGGG break .

    Some girls make more but I'm ready for a long break or to move on.
    if you mean serving as in waitressing, I'm one I find it is a nice compliment to this job and there are some similarities! Looking polished, being friendly and attentive, cash, on your feet/physical!

    Honey I'm 35 years old I don't have 6 years to do the BSN( when you factor in pre-reqs and being on a waiting list it takes that long AT LEAST). I'm in NYC, I am starting my work in a nursing home with the hopes that the union will like my work and after a year pay for me to go to LPN school. I like geriatric nursing alot and you just have to be an LPN for that.

    I also went the community college route to a four year degree in business.

    In addition to significantly lowering my overall student debt, the smaller class sizes allowed instructors more interaction with students. I learned a lot and felt it was money well spent.

    My plan was to transfer to a renowned University near my city after receiving the two year associate degree. They had a transfer agreement with the community colleges in the area, but I still had to compete for acceptance.

    Normally a passive 'B' student, I became an obsessive 'A' student for a two year period. In addition to a ridiculously high GPA (for me anyway - first time in my life!!!), I had to test and write a paper as part of the application process.

    I was accepted but chose not to go. Instead, I finished my degree at a smaller satellite university in my neighborhood.

    This has worked well for me based on my job preferences and tenancy to try different things.

    While I admire someone who commits to a career path, this isn't me.

    So, at my age, obtaining an expensive degree and incurring major student dept didn't make sense.

    I am now retired from dancing, working in a straight job, and student loans paid off.

    I agree with the suggestion to apply for grants and scholarships. I was the lucky recipient of money that I didn't have to re-pay and it really helped.

    Currently working as a CNA for a union facility they have the community college next door to them. Once you work for them for a year you're able to have the union pay for part of your tuition to go back to school provided you are accepted into the nursing program, this is one of the VERY few nursing facilities in My state that hires ADN nurses. My plan is to get My RN while I work for them go online and get My BSN show that I have 2 -3 years of experience ( because I worked as a RN in the nursing home while I was getting My BSN and boom go work in My specialty in a hospital) If you want something you CAN do it ladies don't let ANYONE tell you " oh you're just a female, oh you're just this or that or whatever" and also because you've been in the industry busting your ass as a BUSINESS OWNER often from home ( cam kinda took over the rest of the industry) you already have the discipline to run your own company so go out there break the glass ceiling and own it!

    I am just now discovering this thread Lol but just wanted to jump on here and say we are exactly the same way!! I feel like most other dancers are saving up to have an exit plan that involves going to med school or something, but I am such a drifter and free spirit that I have no desire to leave the adult industry either! I do camming as well. Your comment was just so similar to how I am!

    Glad this thread is around hopefully it does not get lost.

    The pandemic revealed a lot to me. I need to plan my exit strategy. That is more than working as an affiliate and sometimes camming. I need to plan an end date to fully stop camming.

    Seeing other sex workers making gofundme pages to exit the industry is not an exit strategy it's pathetic and desperate. but that's my opinion.

    2020 was a good year for me because I was able to access what I needed from the government, but I got lucky. I used that season to pay off all my debts and build my emergency fund so now I feel like I have the margin to plan my exit strategy to a whole new profession.

    I've been looking at going back to college for an accounting degree. I've been on-off with college mainly because I had no vision of what I want college to accomplish and at that time I had bad student loan debt that was in default so it made it difficult to even think college was possible for me

    I have fears I will be discriminated against in the future but I am tired of living scared. I feel like I have a right just like everybody else out there to choose another career so I can have a better quality of life.

    Plus living with a chronic illness is not easy. I am exhausted and the extremely low amount from disability social assistance is damaging my mental health.


    Now all my debts are gone my past student loan that was included in my bankruptcy (Canada you can file bankruptcy on student loans if you have been out of school for 7 years) and they have rules where it might be possible to get a new student loan again. But I do not want to borrow to pay for college


    I really want a career in accounting as my life after 40 But the whole thing terrifies me I've been discriminated against for working in porn in the past. so it's hard to believe it won't happen again.
