What percentage of dancers do you think can make it in the real world?
[QUOTE=Checkers123;5882750]JMTC. This seems like a fun topic to talk about, I hope a few more members give their opinion.
So do you care to put a number on it? What percentage of dancers do you think can make it in the real world? 50%, 75%, 90%? I'm going to go with 5 to 10% of dancers could make it in the real world if all the strip clubs closed permanently tomorrow.
Strippers can't pass a drug screens, They can't show up on time, they can't show up everyday, they have no work ethic, they have no self control (fighting), they have absolutely no customer service skills. Non of them are in school unless it's for cosmetology. I'd say a large percentage of dancers have some type of criminal record so that would hinder them from getting a real job. Think of the hot girl that worked at one of the top tier clubs for a year or two. She gets fired from there and starts working at a mid level club for another year or two, then she gets fired from the mid level club and now has to work at a dumpster club because she burned all her bridges and 4 to 6 years of stripper life has taken it's toll on her looks and made her attitude even shitter.
You could give a stripper a great job and a ride to and from it everyday and she would be out on her ass before the health insurance kicked in because non of these girls have no idea what normal life is. And I won't even get into everyday stuff like paying taxes, saving money for a rainy day, having a car, having legitimate car insurance, having a legitimate license plate, having a legitimate drivers license, and so on.
Be safe out there, Checkers.[/QUOTE]I have known all variations of dancers over the years some just on a "business" basis some more so "personal" and many mixed with a lusty love of both. Percentage wise probably 25%-30% made it in the real world mostly as RNS or LPNS. A few in real estate where they decide their schedules and 3 as teachers (who actually were working their way through college when I met them) Sure, a lot of them are very "independent" and unreliable but they aren't all painted with the same brush.
