    Default i quit my job dancing last night!

    my boyfriend gave me a retirement hickey on my boob, because no one else is going to see it.
    im sure it was the best choice for me.
    ive been having more problems everyday and the money isnt good enough anymore. i was always a consitantly on the low average of the earning scale. good enough to get by but never enough to do what i wanted. and i got into stripping because i thought it would afford me the extra time and money to do as i pleased. when i realized it wasnt doing it for me i told my manager that i quit, and got dressed and left.

    i have to say this message board and the information contained on the website helped me make my choice and help me realize that this isnt the job for me as badly as i wanted it to be because i had delusions that stripping was easy money. that i would make tons and tons of money without doing any work. i realize now how wrong ive been for lying to myself about how great my life is because of dancing when its much worse.

    thanks.

    Glad to hear you realize you are happier doing something else. Its a hard decision for some to make. Yea it is never easy...theres never any consistant money but there are a few upsides as well...thats another thread LOL. Take Care

    I am considering it too. I've been at it for almost 2 years now, and i feel it has been changing me for the worse. I want to focus on school and doing something that fits my personality better. Since grad school is coming up for me soon, maybe some intern work in the field I am studying. I donno.... the money doesn't even make it worth it to me anymore, I just want to return to a normal life that isn't filled with lieing to people to make a living.
    Anyway...congradulations on your decision. Dancing is definately harder than how it is portrayed. I personally can't take it anymore either. Good luck to you, and let us know what you are going to be doing instead.

    Regardless on where life takes you it is so essential that we are at peace with ourselvs and truthful to people in our family and community. I am happy that you are being realistic with your feelings. You must be comfortable with the way you want to be seen by peers. Its a brave step, good luck.

    I'm glad you were able to come to a decision that makes you happy about this. Many dancers can't decide what they want to do and in the process are very bitter about their dancing. Good luck with your new beginnings.

    that's a tough decision to make, but if it's the best th ing for you then that's good, congrats!
    this is a little off subject, but i hate it when a customer makes a comment about stripping being easy or not really work and then i counter and dissagree and they're like shocked and look at me like im crazy!

    Stop waiting for a man to rescue you! You have to take charge of your own life and be independent first, otherwise you have made no progress. You are better off stripping and being in control of when and who you see and for how much, instead of waiting for the proverbial knight in shining armour (which of course never comes because no man worth his salt is going to want some helpless, needy woman.)

    It's not a vicious cycle unless you refuse to take responsibility for yourself. Why would you quit dancing without either having a new job or money saved? Not trying to be rude here, but you have to figure out a plan for financial independence.

    I have been doing this for about 4 yrs. and I love my job. It's an acting job for me. It is hard work, dancing in those shoes and putting up with rudeness (thankfully, not much), but I really like it. I'm on the lower end of the earning scale, too (which of course I don't like. Hope this will change.), so I don't get to splurge a lot on expensive stuff or save a huge bundle or travel to all the places I want to go. BUT, I still am able to take care of things and I know I make a lot more than a lot of people make. And things usually seem to fall in place all in the end. It takes some woman to walk away from a job such as stripping. That's a hard thing to do. Good luck in your new endeavors, which will be what, by the way? Just curious.

    I'm hoping you're kidding but forgot to use a smiley to clarify that. I'm hoping you understand that the Guysville Lottery has nearly impossible odds for winning a total rescue and absolutely no chance you'll be happy after winning it if you weren't before.

    Forgive me because I'm always better at knowing the answer to these issues than putting it into action, but I'm pretty sure the key to pursuing something else is to plan for it, including budgeting your income and saving up enough so you can carry out the plan. So if you're serious about quitting, tell your pals to get their own way to the theatre, or else invite them over for a cheap night in, and start your saving/planning.

    Best wishes to all who plot a course out.

    i guess quitting doesnt always stick the first time.
    i couldnt find another job so when my old manager called and asked me to come back i did. having some time off helped me put my situation into perspective and made me realize what needs to change in my life to be productive and successful in all the different aspects of my life - not just my job.
