Strippers disappearing for long periods

In reality, most people would probably take more time off work if they could and there weren't serious repercussions, just seems dancers have more flexibility to do so.

e.g. there are people that have the flexibility to retire early and do so.

^people can retire early I just forgot to mention that lol as it is relatively less common

Man school sucks :/ I need to travel more.

And heck yes. I really want to travel dance as well. I’m jealous

^@blahblahblah23, that was actually supposed TO BE the point when the gov't starting social security, etc. Before that, I read it was common that many people worked until the day they died. So I guess that's an improvement, though not much of one. :/

I do get what you're saying about life being a balance. On the micro scale, I try to do some of that every day instead of always "waiting for the weekend" otherwise time goes by in weeks instead of days. And quite frankly our time is too short. :)

I think more of us would take sabbaticals or time off, if we could, like Papi_Chulo posted. It's just that dancers seem to be able to do it more than the rest of us because of the nature of their job.

I believe in a strong work ethic, I also believe in balance, you can have both, as long as you have self discipline. Problem here is these girls (not all but many) have a tendency to abuse the work ethic, and try to get others to make up the difference in balance.

Isn't it extremely rare for a period to last more than 6 or 7 days?

lol fuck you

@ nice I'd most likely bet the job you will get w/ the college degree will be nicer than stripping overall. Hell I might go back to school maybe although I will be a little on the older side as far as students go. Not sure yet. I don't really need college or stripping for what I consider ok money to live decently.

I worked a vanilla job for 15 years. Took no long vacations. Lived modestly. Saved my money. Retired comfortably at 40. Now, it’s one long vacation.

There are different paths to success and happiness.

Blah, it sounds like a great trip. Travel is fun and there's more to life than work.

One does not know whether they'll die at 35 so live-it-up, or die at 95 so save as much as you can - thus IMO the sensible thing is to play it down the middle - have some fun today but also work hard and save for the future.

Seems like the ones that I know that have taken time off, have done so to have kids and they come back looking like it.

"Man school sucks :/ I need to travel more."

I never took Friday classes (except maybe in a summer course), so I always could travel on the weekend to places that weren't very far away. I used to take the Megasbus there, preferably Thursday after classes, remember I gain an hour going to Chicago because I'm on Eastern Time, Illinois is C.T. So I'd get there at night, relax, and spend Friday & Sat there and head back Sunday afternoon, lose an hour, get home at a reasonable night time hour.

You can also travel during breaks. Even thxgiving break, but especially Winter break since it tends to be long, and Spring break. There's plenty of time to travel, and you can study or do classsork on the plane/bus/whatever your method of travel may be!

^^^^yes that's probably the smartest option :)

^ Yeah that seems like a good idea about no Friday classes if possible! I didn't think of that thanks. I was thinking of traveling during breaks if I did go back to school.

The homework thing is really the only thing I liked about public transit when I took it. I guess on a couple hour bus or train ride it's the same benefit lol

@blahblah True.

@nina I’m definitely considering this. The easiest thing for me would just be to go to Dallas (best city for income potential in the state anyways). But I also want to explore around more.

Luckily, for this semester, I’m only taking classes Monday and Wednesday. I’ve been browsing at what cities I can get flight deals from. And now that I’m 25 years old, I don’t have to deal with that extra fee for getting a rental car now. xD

Though I can’t just think about the plane ticket price, but also random events (conventions and the like) around the country that would help out with income potential. But I also want to do more leisure stuff too. Especially hiking.

I have a lot to think about there. And figure out what’s more important for strip tripping. But it’s exciting.

I would just feel bad for leaving my dog more often. But at least my roommate loves him a lot too, and he would be in good hands.

"Yeah that seems like a good idea about no Friday classes if possible! I didn't think of that thanks."

Np :) And yeah, I learned that from a guy I had gone to high school with who graduated high school a year before me... he advised me to avoid taking Friday classes, that it was a "freshman mistake," so I avoided them (to my knowledge. I didn't keep tabs, there may have one or two times when I had to take a Friday class because of scheduling, or summer. But I cannot remember ever taking a Friday class). So I always had a longer weekend.

Yeah nicespice - that's one reason I don't have a dog right now. I live on my own, and I'm away from home way too much for a dog. Cats are easier in that respect.

And now that I’m 25 years old, I don’t have to deal with that extra fee for getting a rental car now. xD

^^^^^ FUCK I HATE THIS UNDER 25 RENTAL CAR FEE ADDED BULLSHIT!!

:( sorry i have strong feelings on this subject. I actually used to cheat the system but it appears and get the under 25 discount anyways- but it appears I can't do this anymore :(

wow I need to not drink it appears I can't type LOL

@blahblah Pity. What do you do currently for traveling?

This country as a whole should embrace more traveling. It's certainly one of my favorite things to do.

I guess if one is in their 20s but plans to start a family at some point, then they should take advantage of that time to travel b/f they are too-busy w/ kids.

Drive my car all over :( putting wear n tear on it

I agree with balance. There are no trailers attached to hearses but it sucks to be broke.

As Suzy Orman once said - "money may not buy happiness but the lack of it will sure make you miserable"
