Another rant from an old white guy

Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life
I was in the club late Friday night, near closing, when I heard several of the top earners say they "only made $300".
I realize things aren't what they used to be. Prior to the 2008/2009 recession, weekend earnings for many dancers regularly approached $800-$1000 in the nicer clubs. Then times got tough in Michigan
Still, $300 for a 5 to 6 hour shift? Not too shabby. If the worked 5 nights, that puts them around $75k. Assuming that's relatively "tax free", that's like making 6-figures in a big girl job.
On top of that, most get large EIC tax refund checks. Free Medicaid for the kids, and food stamps. Just shaking my at the sense of entitlement these young women have.
God, I wish I was a young hot female.

I think that's the point though. They have to average that with other nights which won't be as busy. That and drug habits can be outrageously expensive.
Drugs ain't cheap!
You know the old saying about assuming. :)
Due to bad self image? Loneliness?
Yes, that is very often true.
This is why one should not have too much sympathy when these dancers try to pull on our PL strings w/ their tales of financial woes.
When did "entry level jobs" become careers? I think My first job was selling Christmas trees at my father's store. I could make 5-$10 a DAY! If everyone didn't know me, it would likely have been a dollar or two.
