I have been battling my university over in-state tuition and I'm getting ready to appeal again. I need to prove that I am financially independent of my parents (which I am) but the problem is since I am a dancer I don't have a job on paper. I am really not comfortable standing in front of the appeals board and saying "I'm a stripper" and I'm worried that will actually hurt my case because it will be more of a temporary job rather than a career that would help show I am establishing roots and permanent intent to stay in this state. What other jobs can I use to explain my income as an "independent contractor" and how do I prove the money I make? I don't want to bring them a bank statement. I keep a record book of all the tips I make, but that's hardly legal proof of income. I'm not ashamed of my job- all of my friends know I dance. But I don't want my teachers finding out and I sure don't want my classmates finding out and bringing their broke asses into the club! I am really scared that I have screwed myself over big time by having this job.... How do I explain my income without having to explain I dance?? HELP!!

Most sole proprietor licenses are less than $100, and you can claim anything on it. Titles such as internet sales and service, should work and be just fine with most municipalities.
