Lol.
A 4-yrs later update from the OP would be nice to see how she fared, cuz so many strippers have sad tales to tell (I've known a few)... addiction, abuse, often pressured into champagne room trysts (according to the aforementioned). There are other avenues.
I met a 23-yr old bartender recently. She worked at a beach nightclub, made more $ in 1 night than I've ever made in 1-wk & had just purchased 1 condo for herself & another for her mum. I should have learned how to make a gimlet.1 -

Yeah, I know a couple of bartenders who are similar in banking good money a night. But, the stories are also very similar in that not all make that kind of money unless they're working in a very busy nightclub or bar. Most do okay but not good.
Strippers are similar. The run of the mill local strip joints which are smaller don't do all that well. it's the higher end clubs that cater to more affluent clientele such as stars, athletes, business districts, etc. that get the money in.
Though, in current times, strippers are out of work as well and it's webcam models who are making the money. At least until people's savings dry up from being out of work, then they'll be SoL unless they've got a rich tipper.2 -

True to all the above & many other professions. Location, location, location.
And, yes, we're in the Tampa area & she works at a beach nightclub, so the money flows freely.
Have a great day!1 -

There are no trysts in the champagne room.

Pros of stripping: good money, flexible schedule, the chance to feel confident and sexy in front of an audience.
Cons: the world that surrounds it is pretty dangerous if you don’t take care and distance yourself. I haven’t met a stripper yet who didn’t end up either on drugs, facing traumatic events before stopping it altogether or death (two of my friends who stripped died. One of suicide and one from OD.
I don’t blame stripping for their deaths. But it’s important to have a business mindset when doing something that makes you extremely vulnerable to predatory people and damaging mindsets.
I personally couldn’t do it. I’ve dabbled in camming in the past and it just made me feel bad about myself once the “high” from attention wore off. I cannot disconnect from my emotions and put too much into whatever I do.
;TLDR
Is being a stripper bad? No
However, I do feel it is a dangerous lifestyle for many people.
And I personally wouldn’t do it because I know I am one of those people.9 -
Nothing wrong with being a stripper, but as with any profession there are pros and cons. Good money of course is one of the biggest pros....but you need to be careful. There are numerous dangers out there. A stripper in a well-managed, high end place might be a lot safer that other places....Working the pole takes tons of strength and agility...Make sure you are doing it for all the right reasons..0

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?
Well...you’re about to be flooded with friend request!

I'd seriously recommend branching out into cam work given the current restrictions. But it's certainly better than * shudder* food service.1 -

I wouldn't bother. There's probably a fetish niche for that.1 -
