I think also that this job isn't really doing anything for us besides the pay-off. I mean that there are some jobs of intrinsic value, where you can feel that you are doing something of human value and worthiness...that doesn't mean that these jobs are not criminally underpaid, but it does offer some kind of alternate compensation. Working as a nurse, in this country anyway, is more of a humanitarian act than 'for the money'. Lapdancing, not so much. I think that often, even highly paid doctors wouldn't continue on in their field of work unless a part of them genuinely felt they were 'giving something back'.

So maybe there is a feeling something akin to 'selfishness' insofar as this job isn't really for the benefit of other people...I mean, the guys are probably happy to be entertained in such a way, but to say that dancing is contributing to the 'greater good' is a stretch.

That's always been my theory of why some jobs happen to have so much of a pay-off...People wouldn't be drawn to do some of this work unless it did happen to pay so much money. People are drawn to worthy social causes because they care. Adam Smith's invisible hand, very crudely put, or something.

I mean, I feel guilty as hell about the world wide distribution of wealth. It sucks that some people are starving after working themselves into the ground, whereas others have more money than they know what to do with...and it's all really a matter of luck and circumstance. That is pretty shitty, and I'm not a communist either. Like I said before, nothing alleviates my guilt (that I live where I do, and that I've had the life that I've had) like donating to Unicef and Oxfam. Just my two cents.
