    day job?

    okay, so i have one major thing holding me back from auditioning: my day job. i'm a childcare professional, and i get paid beans. i can barely cover my bills and i'm not about to flip burgers as a supplemental income. dancing sounds like a hoot and i think i have the right personality for it. but i am paranoid about my kids' dads (or moms!) or my coworkers wandering into my club one night and recognizing me. they might not want me to care for their children, or they might tell my boss and get me fired. this isn't far-fetched, i live in a small city with only a few clubs, and i can't commute. if i lost my job, would i be able to pay my bills just dancing? and how many of you have day jobs? did you ever lose a job because your secret identify was revealed? and are the clubs you work/have worked at flexible with your hours?

    thanks in advance....i have already learned so much from you guys, and sorry if this is a repetitive thread but i haven't found anyone with my same problem.

    before i retired, when i started dancing years ago, i had a day job and danced one night a week, and then on the weekends. and make a hell of a lot more $$ than the day job. i made in a night what i did in a week, and i quit the day job after i had enough of the female boss's abuse. you will likely also be able to make more than you do now. to be safe, try a couple of nights a week and keep the day job. by being "safe," i mean, make sure dancing is something you can deal with. don't worry about your co-workers. would it really be terrible if you got fired? most clubs are flexible about hours.

    one concern: if your child's father found out, would he cause problems with you? to what extent? he doesn't have to know. however, i'm not sure of your custody situation, etc. this could be a non-issue, but something you might want to bear in mind. single mothers on this forum will be able to advise you on this....as i have none in this area....

    but in short, yes, you can make more dancing, and it can be a tool to help you pay your bills and advance your life....good luck

    I don't know where you're from, and I don't know local laws, or anything there, but I don't think you could get fired becasue you were also a stripper. Don't quote me on that though. They could come up with some other reason to try and fire you though.

    on whether or not you would be able to pay your bills and such, I don't know how many bills you have, and how much money people around you make, but you should be able to pay all of your bills in the event that you got fired.

    Chances are, not one of your children's parents are going to go and tell the owner or your boss that they were in a strip club, and they saw you dancing.

    i should have been more clear about one thing - i dont have any of my own children, what i meant was the dads or moms of the kids that i work with.

    about making more in one night than you do in a week at a wage job - SO TRUE!!! that's why i want to do it.

    thanks so much for your advice!!
