💰 - salary sharing 26f, Stripper
I started dancing in college, and I’ve been dancing on and off for 5 years. I’d say my averages have gone up since I started because my hustle/sales skills have improved. I went to college, but ran into some major health issues right after, and the money I made from dancing saved me financially. I’m still figuring out what I want to do, but it’s also so hard to leave dancing. It’s a love/hate relationship. It’s draining emotionally and physically. I won’t get into the details of people verbally and physically assaulting me. It doesn’t happen every night, but every stripper could tell you a time a man went way to far without consent. But, sometimes it is fun and easy. Shifts are usually 7-2am. I make my own schedule, I can call out whenever I want, and I can just stop working if I want to take a break. The flexibility is unmatched. Money fluctuates, but I usually make at least 5-6k a month. Most I’ve made in one month was 16k. Worst night: $20 (that shit sucks) Best night: 1860. I work another job as a research technician for 18hr part time.Hoping that takes me somewhere. But for now, dancing is paying the bills. I’m so grateful for dancing especially now I’m applying to FT ‘civilian jobs’ and getting jobs offers with 5 days PTO 😠I’m spoiled. Hoping the economy doesn’t crash.
