The psychology of strippers

We all know strippers get into stripping to make quick easy money. Most of the time they have expectations of doing it for a few weeks, and then getting out. Of course most of the time they stay longer than they planned to.
My question is about the ones who make really good money stripping. Why don't a lot of them look ahead towards school and their professional career? Why don't they take advantage of their opportunities?
What I mean by that let's say a stripper starts stripping at 21. In no time she's making great money, and she can afford to use some of her stripping money for school. The problem is she never takes advantage of the opportunity. She doesn't enroll in any classes. She just continues stripping for the next 10 years. Now she's over 30, and she's a little over the hill. She's not making good money like she used to. She didn't save any of her stripping money. So she's 31, not making good money, and has no college degree. Yikes.
Why don't strippers take advantage of the opportunities? Stripping is some of the easiest money you'll ever make, but like professional sports it has a extremely limited shelf life.

And then there were others who were already having to take care of themselves and already getting into things at least approximating prostitution before they were 18yo.
One I was friendly with was going to nursing school. Another came to a soft core club from having worked at a Victoria's Secret store. She was going to community college.
Others get hooked into the strange hours, then staying up later with guys doing 2am OTC, and then with the alcohol and the drugs. And then they get psychologically hooked into the money, money they don't need, but it is still an emotional rush, like drugs.
Lots of people might go to post-secondary school if the social context of their life were right for it. But for many it is not.
And then also many of these girl already have kids, and this does influence their options.

They arent that different than 45 year Olds who haven't saved a dollar for retirement, other than a shorter clock.
A lot of girls turn to stripping because they weren't exactly college material to begin with.
I would imagine most girls don't look ahead for their futures or some of the higher earners imagine they'll land a wealthy hubby by the time they hit 30.
I don't think they are lazy, it is just that school does not work well for everyone. And even professional careers really won't work for many people. Many strippers and many people in general are coming from abusive families. Life just can't be like it is for other people.
And if you are trying to apply Calvinist ideas to strippers, then they are smart to keep stripping and doing all the OTC they can. It's just that this messes them up, and so they end up on chemicals.

The more you go into warmer latitudes, the better the street scenes are!
But the place you find children being used as status symbols is the middle-class family. And where children are least protected, is the middle-class family. Some of the worst of it is medical doctor and therapist aided child abuse, formerly known as Munchausen's By Proxy.
I would love to work for Child Protective Services, especially if it could be an extra-legal version.

One dancer I know has a nursing degree from a certain top tier public university in southeastern Michigan, yet makes bank stripping in Detroit instead. Admittedly a bit shortsighted of a career decision on her part...
Just my opinion based on one particular group of relatives who seem to always have money problems. I think one of my sisters in law is not too bright and most of her kids took after her. She doesn't seem to understand a budget and never did in my opinion. All my blood relatives do. My one brother who is still married to her has so many problems it's not funny. His long term plan is to die before her.

OTOH, I've also known my fair share of college grad strippers. Most of them seemed to need the attention that comes when you strip naked in front of strangers. One of my old favorites from my old favorite club was a total nympho who enjoyed that club specifically for the opportunity to get laid with complete strangers, or at least it appeared that way,
Stripping was the best way for them to earn good money.
One girl told me she started as a waitress. She made more money in tips in one night
than working a civilian job. They never seem to age and seem to be able to dance for a long
period of time. Also, they will always have an older sugar daddy helping them.
One girl was a "maid" wink wink for a filfthy rich oil man. So, these girls are smarter than you think.
Trying to figure out a stripper can be like trying to figure out who voted for who.
And in this society, no matter how many degrees you have, this does not mean you will even have a chance at a decent career. That's just how it is.
And then lots of strippers are those for whom it will take decades just to reclaim what was taken away from them via familial abuses. The minority that understands this has a chance. The rest will probably self destruct on alcohol and drugs.

I don't know that it is really low-self esteem either. It is simply that those that are self-aware cannot support middle-class society.
Those that are not self-aware are the ones who burn up on drugs and alcohol.
