I've been wondering why being a stripper is bad because I honestly want to be a stripper. They make really good money and can wear really cute clothes. I see nothing morally wrong with being a stripper unless you have kids... Then you should probably get a better job. What do you think?

It isn't. People like to enforce their ideas of what is right and wrong as if it's fact; set in stone. The truth about life though is that morals are entirely subjective. At the end of the day, do what feels right to you and remember that your rights end where another person's rights begin.18

I am a woman and have no moral objection to stripping. Some strippers likely do very well, however, I think that eventually as one ages the money will vanish. So maybe strip to put yourself through college and then move on? I doubt that most strip clubs offer healthcare, dental and a 401K or pension. Also, not sure how stripper, adult entertainer or exotic dancer will look on your job application when you hit 30. Some potential employers may not care but some will. Think about it.12

Well I'd just think that since smaller kids have the possibility of not understanding correctly what their mom is doing it could get the kids in more trouble than it's worth. I wouldn't want to have my job exposed to my kid whose around 2-5 bc it's hard to properly explain what you're doing and why. But that's my opinion.1 -
All excellent responses above. In my opinion, it is definitely not a great option long term. I personally know two women that have high paying jobs because they paid their way through college working as a stripper. However, it is not realistic to think it is something you can do for 10 to 20 years and make a good living at it.4

I agree I don't believe it's a good long term job to keep but it is definitely a helpful job if you can pull it off.

Nothing.
Just be careful of the weirdos. A strip club maybe better than private, unless you have someone to tag along for security.
My cousin was for a while and she came across many creepy people. Our uncle and her brother played bouncer for her several times.5 -
I know 4 ladies who stripped to pay for school. One is now a nurse, one is a respiratory therapist, one is a pilot, and the other dropped out.4

Nothing wrong in it, if I was younger I'd have no problems doing it xx1

I don't think there is anything wrong with it, if it is your choice and you enjoy it. What I do see a problem with is when women are pressured into it by a controlling boyfriend that is profiting on the woman's situation.
I'll run by the bank and get some dollar bills if you go through with it.3 -

And are you married? Plan on getting married? You either narrow the pool of men to those who wouldn't mind marrying a stripper, or you lie about your past, which is also hard on your soul.
As long as you don't mind surrounding yourself with drug addicts, sex addicts, compulsive people and servitude to an exploitative business model and business people. That's the experience of the strippers I've known.13 -

All right I'll make sure I try to make it happen. It's nice to have a fan already. Lol3

Not sure if it is right for you though since you stated in another thread that you don't like being flirted with based on your looks. What do you think is going to happen at a strip club?14

Nothing wrong with it as long as you're doing it for the right reasons. Done any pole dancing? It's hard AF but very fun. Try a class before you make stripping you're profession5

Meh, smaller kids really don't care what mommy and/or daddy do for a living. With a kid that young, you just tell them that mommy is a dancer. Not even a lie.2 -
You're immersing yourself in a world replete with drugs and alcohol. An environment populated with frivolous and unreliable people (I'm including the customers here). You have to pretend to like people that you find repulsive (the money isn't in the pole-dancing, it's in the lap-dances).
You would be (I'm sure) the exception, but an environment like that can rub off on you.10
