So I was in a class this morning, and we were discussing whether or not a person has to like their job to be able to do it well. Some idiot, who had been pissing me off from the beginning of class with his stupid questions, turns to the professor and says, "I guess it's like being a stripper. I mean they hate their job until they get their paycheck. C'mon, they have to get naked for money..."He just kept going on and on and I got so pissed that I opened my mouth and said, "That's not true. I'm a dancer and I LOVE my job." He then asked me if other dancers do and I said, "Every dancer I know enjoys her job." My professor agreed saying that one would probably have to like being a dancer to do it, but then said, "But that's not a career, it's just a job."
I then proceeded to explain how one could make dancing a career, and that many people do.
After sticking up for our profession, I then realized that I may have made a mistake. Why? Because my mom works at my school (she's worked here for 22 years) and my professor knows my mom (she used to work for my mother) and many of her colleagues. My mother knows what I do, but I don't think that she wants everyone at her job knowing. My only hope is that my professor doesn't actually know that I'm "Michele's Daughter", even though everyone I come into contact with knows b/c I look just like my mom.
Damn this society. Why should I have to live like this? I'm very proud to be a dancer. If only the rest of the world could accept that.
