    This thread depresses me in a way. I wish I had of had the nerve to start dancing earlier. Instead of waste 10 years studying and working in retail making fuck all, being miserable and poor. But I listened to what other people thought for too long and was too scared to do it until last year. I could have saved soooooooo much money and been a lot happier if I had danced for longer.

    I am in my final year of uni this year. The plan is to stop dancing when I get full time work. This is the compromise I made with my bf to start dancing in the first place - that it would be a short term thing. The thought of stopping makes me depressed. Ideally I would start full time work and work maybe just saturday nights. I dont know if that will be possible.

    I also think that if I had of started dancing earlier I would have also gone down a different path career wise and done something creative with myself such as acting or circus.

    Oh the what ifs!

    I started at age 23. I don't regret starting at that age as honestly I wasn't ready up until that age to really do it. I was waay too naive, introverted, etc to really do well with it before that age. Just wish I hadn't made some of the stupid financial decisions I had made over the years.

    I started at 31 and at 33 I am almost done. My goal was to strip while pursuing an acting/filmmaking career and it looks like I will be transitioning from stripper to professional working actress shortly. Yeahooooo!

    Unless something else comes up, I'm probably a lifer too, with maybe some breaks inbetween to travel or work for the Peace Corps or something. I know that everyone thinks they have to give it up ometimes, but take care of yourself and you could be that hot 60 yr old Vegas stripper.

    The only way I'd ever quit stripping is if I had the chance to be a professional dancer. (How Flashdance is MY life? lol.)

    I have a corporate job right now. I'm finishing my MBA next month and then I planning on quitting my job, starting dancing again, and planning a business. I will keep dancing until my business income for my company is over $100k.

    I'm in a similar boat. I am in a committed relationship, and four years into it, fell in LOVE with dancing and performing. And... he wants me to quit. We're moving to Atlanta in two weeks, and he is capping my dancing career at one more year. I do NOT want to quit. I love it. I've actually been toying at the idea of featuring. Already started a comedy act at my club on slow nights and people LOVE it. I've got a signature costume for it and everything. It's in my blood. Do what I love for as many years as I can... or... keep the boyfriend. Eh. Fuck.

    But.. don't want to threadjack. If I could be a lifer, I would. And I still might be.

    I'm hoping that after I complete my current internship that I'll be able to get a good position at a company I thought it'd take me another two years to be qualified to work at. Thanks, stripping!

    After that happens *knock on wood*, I'll definitely keep dancing about once a week. If I do that then I figure I'll have enough regulars to make that lucrative, and just to satisfy my creative desire.

    I'll do it as long as I look good, am not forced to do extras, and as long as it suits my lifestyle/needs at the time.

    I'm in it for the long haul.

    I treat it like my business.

    I plan on doing this for at least 3 more years.

    It seems silly to feel the need to go out into the "real job" world (I consider my job a very real job though) when I can work 3 nights a week making thousands of dollars a month while saving gicantically for my retirement.

    I feel extremely fortunate that I am able to dance in such a great club. It affords me a very great way of life.

    I've gotta say, I'm envious of all you gals who love stripping so much! Actually, I love it too in theory, well, what it once was, all the touching/kissing that is the current reality at my club really depresses me, and makes it impossible for me to go in too often. If it weren't for that I could dance so much more. I have been a lifer, started at 25 and still dance from time to time now, at 38. I haven't danced full time since 29, but have always seen the opportunity in it to supplement other things I've wanted to do.
