How would you feel if your daughter took up stripping?

[baileyvpotter]

To answer the original question - I would feel terrible and would discourage her to do it. I'm sure there
are some very good women who are desperate and have no other options i.e., having to support children
with no support from their families, the father and lack of jobs.
However, the arguments about paying for college and that fantastic income by stripping is
convoluted. There are other jobs other than flipping burgers (and what's wrong with that) that may not
pay what a stripper gets which won't come back to haunt them or put them in a risky environment/
situation.
Someone mentioned a girl who went through law school and I thought, if she works in the same
area where she used to dance, wouldn't that affect her credibility or again somehow come back to
haunt her? Also, the argument that they are dancers, well there are 1000's of women who took
dance (tap, ballet, modern) which is a discipline and I wouldn't call what a stripper does as dancing.
Those who studied dance are in excellent or even in better shape. Stripping is erotic moving eye candy.

Just google the truth about strip clubs. It's always been a money maker for the owners
and dancers but now......

The money is incredible and that along is a strong motivator for wanting to become a stripper and remain so.

How much is "incredible," if I may be so bold?

In the early 90s, it was fairly common for the girls who worked at the club where I was a bouncer to take home $1000-$1500 on a Friday or Saturday night. On weeknights, $600 would be the average. It's been years since I've been in a strip club, but from talking to old friends who are still in the industry it hasn't changed too much. Bear in mind, the club I worked at was frequented by high rollers, so ymmv.
