    The argument about how much money you go home with vs. how much is in your purse can go on forever. I think it is a matter of personal preference. Would you like to work less and earn medium, or work more and earn high?
    I am naturally a fairly lazy person, so I would say I would work less and earn less. But now that I have been out of work for a year, I see how boredom and laziness eats a person up. Now I have changed my mind and would say that to work more and earn more is a great way to earn $$$ AND relieve boredom.

    But the thing is, the grass is always greener on the other side.

    When I used to dance, I liked to check out all the clubs around. Sometimes I would go for a drive and end up workng in some boondocks somewhere.. Just for the variety, and thinking that maybe I'll hit the jackpot.

    One time I tried out a club in my city where you didn't have to approach any customers and ask for dances. I loved the idea, i though it was so great! i am such a shy person, and hustling has always been my weakest point.

    However, there was a catch. Yes, the dancers got to sit around in a private
    "lounge" with the other dancers during slow times. The club had hired people to walk around with a book full of pictures of the girls and these employees were the ones doing the hustling. So basically, wqhen your name was called you went and did a dance.... BUT.... the club only gave you $5 for each dance. And I am not joking - $5 - high-milage (at par with the rest of the area clubs), grinding, nude dances.

    After working there one night I decided to go back to the hustle and get $20 for my efforts.

    So basically, my point is that if you have to work 4 times as hard for the same money then it's not worth it. Go work somewhere where it feels "worth it" in terms of amount of work:money earned.

    As usual, Tina brings up some good points.

    This situation sounds extremely familiar. My old club was very low contact bikini and the club made most of the money off the bar (low $$ for me). Now that I am working nude, the club makes most of it's money off of me and the other dancers.

    I wish I could say that is where most of my money is going to. It's hard to keep this possibility in perspective when I see my manager getting a paycheck as well as huge amounts of tips and driving a brand new Mercedes.
    If the club took a "normal" amount from us, then had to raise it a bit for legal fees, then I would totally understand.

    I agree there should be a profit. Just not an exorbinant one from my daily earnings.
