    Miami,
    Stripping was by far the best choice I could have made. I have the time to focus on what I want in life, my son, my husband, education, etc....and the economic security to be comfortable and have the things I want for my family (that is if you save as one girl pointed out, cash spends as easily as it comes in).

    Did I feel like less of a woman when I started? No...I was nervous for sure, I wasn't sure I could pull it off...but every night I grew into my platforms a little bit more. It actually helped to encourage me to stay on top of my looks, health and attitude. So not only has it helped with money and time but it has made me enjoy being a sexyl/sensual adult woman.

    The only time it has ever been a disadvantage for me is when I let it be one. People will always have an opinion, and you can't stop that...no matter WHAT you do....

    Good luck to you!

    p.s. Before I started dancing had no car, had a small apartment and lived very hand to mouth.

    Now, Have a house, own my car, my son wants for nothing and I even managed to have surgery done that I had wanted since he was born in time for my wedding!

    It was worth it, but I started at 21, after working regular jobs and being in school full-time. I don't recommend jumping right into stripping at your age. There are just too many predators. In a perfect world, you are in your prime money-earning years and could clean house. Conversely, it would be so easy to get caught with the wrong crowd at a young and impressionable age. I am not trying to insult your age or maturity by any means, I've just seen it happen too much.

    My recommendation: keep a regular part-time job, stay in school, dance 2 nights a week, or something like that. Ease yourself into it. Read this site. SAVE 20% of your earnings, at least 10% into a cash reserve for emergencies and future tuition, and another towards school loans due. Pretty soon, you will be able to simply pay your tuition at the beginning of the semester.

    I totally agree with Andygirl! Although it can be a great opportunity and make things in your life alot easier, money that comes quick starts to lose it's value in a "realistic" worth. You start to develop habits and superficial desires that are affordable and very tangible with the income of a dancer but just make sure you have a plan or go and finish school to have an equally paying career if you decide to make your champagne taste permanent. Otherwise you'll be dancing forever and rubbing on boners all night just so you can waste your money on a new coach bag.

    Well, the HYPE about stripper money is just that. HYPE.

    But it's still alot better money (in most cases) than you'll make at a regular job, and will allow you to avoid all that college debt.

    You could spend 10 years or so dancing, save ALL your money and retire young. Or you could go to college on the stripping money and then work a regular career with a decent paycheck (good luck adjusting to that after dancing though). Or you could spend a few years dancing and saving money, and invest in something else. Lots of possibilities.

    Just make sure you keep your head on, don't get lost in that all-too-common cycle of spending all your money because you'll "make more tomorrow"...

    With dancing money you can make enough to get yourself an apt away from mom in about a week. Then it really won't matter if she approves or not.

    Why is it so important to have her agree with you about dancing? Because she won't. Ever. If you dance, you will have to accept that she won't like it, and she will have to accept that you're a stripper despite the fact she doesn't like it. But it's part of growing up and becoming an adult - kids rarely do everything their parents want and parents have to accept that kids grow up to make their own decisions.

    Good luck. Be smart. Think it through.

    To answer the original question: YES it's been totally worth it for me. Best thing I ever did. I have done so many things I NEVER would have had the chance to do if I hadn't danced - mainly because of the money and freedom...
