Making Big Money is Relative

The Square Above Charlie Weaver
Had a chat with an 18 year old dancer. She told me until last week she worked 4 afternoons a week at McDonalds. Said it was after school. So I figure maybe 25 hours a week tops. At what, $10 an hour that is $250 per week. With taxes and FICA taken out maybe she could net $200. Round numbers here.
Said she quit because she could make almost as much in one4-12 shift stripping as a week at McDonalds. Almost as much. Even at the same $200, that is not a very good night for a stripper, is it?
This is at a club where a girl can do as many $10 dances as she wants and a single VIP would go net $150. Said she did bad things in VIP, but when pressed would only commit to it being "better" and "fun". ROB code words. But a girl would have to spend most of the shift sitting on her ass to only make $200. She only works two days a week, so I guess she feels she is way ahead over working McDonalds.

What an asshole. Why is it that every stripper boyfriend in the history of strip clubs has been a worthless piece of shit loser from everything I've read? Do these girls have such low self-esteem that they continuously get into relationships with worthless pieces of excrement?
So goldmonger I’m assuming this girl is still in high school?
Ah this reminds me of my favorite tryst at Flight Club in Detroit, met a 19 year old that was a cashier at Kroger before going to stripping. I knew it was going to be the first and last time I ever saw her because she was hitching a ride from another stripper driving an hour each way to work at FC, knew that wasn’t going to last.
As for skibums statement I totally agree. This all started with GenX. You may surprised how many guys I know who are stay at home dads. Some of their wives have really good jobs others just average. I don’t care if my wife makes a million dollars a year, I’m still gonna go to work.
I recall leaving home in a used VW with about 100.00 in my pocket many moons ago to take a job 300 miles away with a little bit of college debt and the realization that I couldn't hit a fastball well enough to ever make it to MLB.
Where is this mindset today?
Some degrees, like engineering, are an almost certain path to success. Other degrees, like gender studies, are certain to leave a student with loan debt that will never be repaid.
Other non-college jobs, like plumbing or modern factory work, can lead to a comfortable life. For a generation, kids were taught that these jobs were beneath them. So, instead, they live with their parents waiting for an employer to discover how special they are.
The other issue - regarding young folks not working or supporting themselves - appears to largely be generational. Somewhere folks began to accept being out of work as being ok.
There’s nothing wrong with losing your job - and looking for work. But looking for work should be temporary - and not your long term existence.
In my day - you wanted to get out and on your own as quickly as possible. It was almost a rite of passage - or a way to show your maturity (through independence).
Life is not that different now, it’s just the acceptance of folks not having jobs, and folks moving in with parents - have both become more acceptable.
Useful and readily applicable college degrees aren’t as common as they were in the past. It seems that people view college as a time for young folks to find themselves? It used to be that college was where you learned and found your path to a job. The point of college seems to be odd now - and colleges love having students staying around for 5 or more years - it’s more revenue for them!
A lot of these changes seem to help Bernie Sanders - as they love the socialist agenda. Everything is free for the deadbeats - because the working folks pay for them. It plays off the classic rich vs poor - it assumes you are rich because you work - and if you aren’t working - you are still proud because you need to stick it to the man! It’s a crock of shit!
I’ve been involved in women’s studies - while studying the tan lined ass of several hot Brazilian dancers... it’s an expensive way to study, but there are some extra benefits!
