I was white collar once. I have a bachelors degree and I used to worked for Labor & Industries. But my economic situation changed, started dancing and the rest is history.

Miss Molly you are so right on target. Getting in a financial hole and 'having' to dance takes all the fun out of it. I have been there myself. I don't know that you can pound anything into anybody's head - they will have to learn those things for themselves. Just keep doing what you're doing!
Let your indulgence set me free. - Shakespeare





You have hit on an important point. In this jobless 'recovery' we have to be flexible and be ready to use all our interests for financial success. So while you're buying your toys buy some investment property. While you're workin' hard today take a class or two to explore the other industries that could bring you gold tomorrow. Any industry can change. In Jersey we went from making $20/hr to having to pay the clubs. :o Anything can happen. Arm yourselves now before the wolf is at your door.

I fit that description except I wasn't laid off, Im just tired of the office life.
Im also making much more now and can actually save! (hard enough in San Francisco)

Yep - this is me....in my 30s, have a Master's degree, been teaching college for the past 10 years - but it sucks due to really low pay!![]()
I have another 10-15 pounds to lose and hope to start dancing next month. They say that hindsight is 20/20 - well, no duh....I should have skipped the whole college thing (and the $70,000 student loans) and gone straight to dancing...when I was younger. Oh well, there's still time to live the dream...![]()
Me too. I have a BA and have worked as a Web designer and Internet marketing pro as well as being a Director of Marketing for a small company. I started dancing (again) last Summer because I was burnt out on my office job - working 12+ hour days, being stuck inside all day, dealing with a hectic commute, and just feeling unappreciated, overworked, and stressed out overall.
Since I started dancing again:
- I've more than tripled my *higher than average* day-job income
- I only work 3-4 days a week
- I am happier while I'm at work
- I'm in much better shape (I don't drink much at work and I don't smoke.)
- I have more free time and money to actually enjoy my life
- I've paid off almost all of my debt and I'm starting to invest
- My confidence and overall mental health are better
- I could go on and on....
For me, stripping full-time is one of the best choices I've made in life and I plan on doing it as long as my body holds up, or until I don't enjoy it any more. I don't feel trapped. On the contrary, stripping has given me freedom to live my life the way I want and to make as much money as I want. The only person I have to answer to is myself (and I'm a pretty demanding boss).
