The Pros and Cons of Being a Stripper in College

“Sometimes, when I'm alone, I put on six inch heels and wear nothing else and dance around in front of the mirror and do my little stripper dance.” – Tori Spelling

Some may be wondering why I chose to make today’s post about stripping, but hey when college life gets hard and you need fast cash, you think about your options. Plus I would like to say now, that I think anyone who strips for a living is a brave person because this industry is harsh and has way too much negative backlash.  On a second note, I am not, nor have I ever been, a professional stripper; but like any writer I do my research.

PROS:

•           Easy money
•           Can help finance for school
•           Working at a good club with bouncers and protection (head to Vegas)
•            Getting compliments
•            Making your own schedule
•           Gain confidence
•            Does not interfere with classes

CONS:

•       Ignorant opinions of others
•            Dealing with drunk, unruly customers
•            Dealing with jealous co-workers
•            Explaining decision to future employers
•            Lots of drugs and alcohol among co-workers
•            Pretending to be interested in customers
•            Need start up money for outfits, shoes, etc.
•           You become the campus stripper
•            Exhausted for morning classes
•           No free weekends
•            Customers following you back to campus and having to call campus safety at 5am
