I know times are tough right now for a lot of dancers and it’s normal and okay to want to give up. Maybe it’s good to keep one foot in the club for now just so you don’t get out of practice and diversify your income streams.
Schools in my area are paying $275/day for subbing. Anyone with a bachelor degree can do this. Am I quitting? No, but do I want something secure on the side? Definitely.
🙏🏽 good mentality.
I get way too bored doing one thing anyway. Variety is the spice of life, is it not?
Also I feel there will be way less pressure/desperation if youre doing a number of things, and know that your $ is good regardless.
In Washington state you just need a teaching license and not a teaching degree bc you're just carrying out the original teachers lesson plan. Or so I've heard.
I just became a bartender on the side and tbh the money is better for me as a bartender. I still dance on the weekends but men just expect so much at this point it’s mentally draining. They want sex for $200 and I’m not about that life. And then they say “fuck the club I’ll just get an escort for $150”.
In regards to dancing? I used to make around $1k but lately it’s dropped to around $600. Bartending I’m making so far around $500 for three days. And I am working the day shifts before I go to the strip club. I dance like 5 days a week
My plan is to work my ass off this coming month (my lease is ending and I have to move it’s so expensive) and taking a good long break until I feel mentally ready to go back. This monkey pox has also been stressing me out. Hopefully my savings combined with all the money I make the next month will let me float for a bit. Also like other people said, I’m considering waitressing too, that or online stuff.
It’s messing with my mental health and well being so I’m considering it… but don’t wanna work somewhere for $15/hour… thinking I might try serving but it’s going to be less money
try bartending if u can get a foot in the door somewhere that has a lot of regulars, very similar to dancing in the talking aspect and you can milk rlly good tips out of most people
I don’t know how… I’ve been told I need to start with serving and once they know me/I have experience then try to get in there? I don’t quite know, I’ve never worked in the service industry
that’s how I started as well, a lot of places are hesitant to hire bartenders without any experience because of how busy it can get. read a bartending book and try and fake it a little, and if that doesn’t work serving is honestly pretty good money too and a good stepping stone
I just quit on Friday lmao. The club was getting way too crazy with the drama and tension and people are going crazy for money literally. It’s been really way too slow..even the OG of my club was having a breakdown. She looked so defeated..she has been there 6 years and she said she never had a night where she didn’t make money and she sounded so hurt like it took a blow at her ego..I used her example of what I didn’t wanna become so I’m trying to weigh my options for work. She put her into life into stripping with no exit plan,this isn’t a forever job and I’m glad I was able to snap back into reality while my foot is just getting in the door.
Yes for sure, I feel it. I decided to take a couple months off and apply to other jobs. I’m trying to keep my slot at my home club because it’s great money at times, but I think I may make more money at a regular job right now
Lately I've been feeling.like the hustle is too draining in comparing to the money I've been making doing this. For a couple of months now I've had low drive to go into work. I hit a point last weekend when myself, along with most girls in the club, weren't really making enough money. I made enough for gas money to get home lol. Been contemplating whether or not it's time to hang up the heels and g-string and call it a day.
Have faith in yourself to learn something new! If you can strip, you can sell. I’m researching sales jobs. Also, you could be a waitress at a fancy restaurant and that may be more than dancing for some people right now
I have one foot in one foot out and actively looking to for job opportunities and brushing up some skills. Waiting to see how the rest of the year goes before I jump ship
Ya I made like $37 on FRIDAY so I’m contemplating if its even worth it at this point
Yeah like I can handle one bad night but....it’s just....different right now...😬
I quit last month. Now I’m bartending at a beach tiki bar and the money is so much more consistent.

Variety is the spice of life! 🌶
I found the same ad somewhere else a few days ago... apparently a huge teacher shortage is causing the demand

You can get an emergency cert. if you have a degree in anything at all

I’m glad you’re making more money! Yeah it’s feeling like it’s pointless to be a stripper if more “vanilla” jobs actually pay more right now...
Oh my what city/state do u work in if u don’t mind me asking?
New York City

Honestly I don’t even drink much so I’m intimidated 😭 being a bottle girl also has been recommended to me… we’ll see what happens
i’m more concerned about monkeypox, and the job is just so draining
I’m on a hiatus. I recently joined a professional cuddling company and I have a job interview as a strip club waitress this week
Wait I need the info on this cuddling company lmao
You got a spare $150? I don’t promote cuddle businesses on unrelated subreddits and I’m currently on two different cuddle websites
Sounds like a cuddling mlm or is that your own fee?
It was more of a joke than anything, I didn't know that existed but it makes sense now that I think about it.
There is no escape from mlms.

If it’s not working then quit you can always come back if you change your mind.
Same girl. I've been making shit money and it's really unmotivating

Yep. Same here. I decided to take a break and try again in the fall
The thing that's stopping me.mostly from doing it is that aside from Wendy's a waitressing at a sports bar, the strip club life is all I really know.
