    as a side note, I did not offer any choice for over 35 because I felt it fell in the category "as long as I physically look good." (or can emotionally handle it for that matter)

    I want to retire NOW. Not that I really want to retire, just that there isn't anyplace I want to work any more *sigh* I think I need a mental health break...

    Working in the adult entertainment industry is so much fun that I wish I could do it until retirement. I know, I have only been doing this for a short time, but in all of my previous regular jobs, I knew what they were going to be like after a few months on the job.

    In reality, I'll probably retire once I look too old for this job. Who knows, maybe by that time they will have grandma strip clubs for me to work in, hehe.

    I just turned 33 in March, and by 35 i will not be dancing. Started at 21, for me that is enough years, with only a few months here and there stopped for school.
    I may stop at 34 , who knows. But i find myself pushing more up the ladder with my degree. And in need of more schooling to complete myself in the corporate world. Without a doubt the latest....35.

    Here here, Kaiya!

    I started in the adult industry at an adult ISP and have since come to LOVE the industry! I never had girl friends until I started meeting women in the many facets of this industry.

    I'll stick around until I start looking too old to do it which hopefully won't be for a while (I'm 28 ).

    I applaud anyone who does this till they can <grin> Been in the business about 4 months, just turned 20 years old. I hope to retire within 2 more years as I'm majoring in fashion design and would like to pursue a career in that.

    It sure does seem difficult though to transition into the "real world". I'm so addicted to the cash I think I need Cash Lovers Annonymous.

    I retired in April 2002. Of course, I might do a Michael Jordan and stage a comeback especially when I go to MBA school. The cash crunch is weird, but after a few months of direct deposit, it goes away. I do miss the biz though. I take my boyfriend to the clubs every once in a while. It's ll fun to be a customer now!

    I'm basically retired from live dancing also, unless some clubowner makes me a feature offer that I can't refuse, unless I have a video or magazine or other gig which pays my way to a particular city such that dancing while there doesn't result in extra expenses (big exception I never dance in California because of the potential tax problems), or unless the "urge" to be worshipped strikes me LOL!

    This will be very hard to quit. I started almost a year ago thinking that I'd quit in a year....so here I am, thinking I will do it for "just one more year". It will be hard to give up and I probably only will when I phsycally can't do it anymore.

    FYI, I turn 26 on Thursday. And I'm so addicted to the money that I won't even take the night off.

    Yes, it's hard to take a night off and actually relax or enjoy yourself because I tend to think "I could be making X amount of dollars now" It's like I only take time off for exhaustion. Even if I have a hot date I'm still thinking...I'm missing out on cash right now.

    yeah, why in the world would I want to get up at 6:00am, get ready for work, go to my worker bee job, deal with some asshole boss with paws, get paid peanuts and and to fight the traffic on the rush home to cook dinner?

    I'm seriously considering a mini stripper vacation with my friends. I think a 3 or 4 day Mexican cruise would be just the ticket. (If I could stop feeling anxious that I'm not making any money)

    I got back from a cruise recently....it was great! Vacations are so cheap right now. I'm taking one to Las Vegas this month. A luxury suite at the Venetian is going for $115/night! Off-topic, but I'm excited to go.

    I started dancing when I was 19 and originally expected to retire when I was around 30. My husband now own's the club I dance at, so I will stick around as long as I can. Once I stop dancing I will probably waitress or become the dancer's manager/housemom. I will dance until I feel that I can't keep up with the other girl's, them damn new girl's coming in get younger every day. I hope to have another 10 year's in me, I'm 26 now.

    You're in a unique position where even when you retire you'll still be immersed in the "culture."

    Hey, it's quite obvious from Saph's pictures that she isn't no little girl. Heck, I wish she was closer to MY age and lookin' that hot and sexy

    I haven't even been at it quite a whole year yet since I don't even work anything close to full time, but I'd say with three semesters of college left that I'll give myself three to four years.
    After college, that'll give me two and a half years to save money and pay bills while I work on continuing education, but before I officially enter the job market. With what I wanna do once I begin applying for jobs I've gotta leave this lifestyle far behind for good.

    Hey SuperStripper. I just got back from an awesome cruise TODAY! Went from LA, to Catalina Island, then Ensenada, Mexico. I went all alone and had a blast! It was around $400/4days. Everyone was so friendly (well I'm a stripper, of course there friendly he-he). Anyways, check it out on the Internet. Great deals out there!!!
    It's better to be looked over, than overlooked.

    I find it interesting that only 3 people voted for "as long as I can emotionally handle it"

    It seems like there is a point where a girl realizes if she can handle it or not. If she makes it about 3 months or so, she can probably emotionally handle it for a lot longer, so maybe it doesn't really become an issue anymore? The longer I do it, the less likely it is that I haven't prepared myself for what will happen. I think I've become numb to the emotional aspect of it. I don't let shit get to me. I brush it off as their problem and move on.

    I think I've become numb to the emotional aspect of it.
    I agree with this slightly. But I tend to go through stages where things aren't quite hunky dory in my life and those are the times I can't even handle being in the club.
