But Maggie found a solution, working just four nights a week. She said she makes $180,000 a year stripping,

Sounds to me that the college degree is now unnecessary.

Ide, I think you should totally should do that.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

Short shelf life on that type of career, but if she's careful with her money...
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Most definitely, but yeah, if you get the proper financial planning involved, those kinds of numbers can be stretched out for quite a long time.

She can easily stretch it out long enough to find a rich husband.

I'm actually pretty dubious she makes $180k net.  I'd expect there's a lot of tipout at a stripclub, and even if not, we're talking $800 or so a night, which is obscene for what is basically sex work without sex.  But if so, it's no wonder attractive hookers charge so much.

2 things:

1) never trust a stripper, especially about money. Who wants to say they give lap dances to nasty old men to pull down $60k? Saying they make a lot more money than they do is a way to get power all the detractors. ("You say I'm a slut and look down on me? Well I make way more money than you do, who is the sucker now?")
2) the line between a stripper and a hooker is often quite blurry.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

The lines blurry because if she's bringing in the kind of money she so far passed the line she can barely see it.

That's fair, although if I were a woman or gay and STDs didn't exist, I'd suck dick for $60k.

Quote2) the line between a stripper and a hooker is often quite blurry.

True.  I kind of wonder in what light character and fitness will look at her--and I say that without animosity or reproach, if she's dancing, fucking, or filing for her money, that's fine with me in principle.  I'm mainly rebelling against the idea, probably more out of emotion than consideration, that the market price of two thousand lapdances from an 8 is $180k.

Doesn't seem in the offing.

A girlfriend of mine made $500 a night back in the 90's, in a place with no Lapp dancing.  I can see 180K easy.

Yeah, the stripper that lived next to me back in the 90s lived better than I did.

alfred russel

I'm not saying it isn't possible, but it doesn't seem likely. A lap dance is like $20. Call it $30 with tip. Most good places aren't going to let you work the floor 40 hours a week, especially concentrating in prime hours. They want a variety of girls working. The money can get big in the private VIP rooms, but that is where things can start getting blurry.
