One downside of sex work, especially online sex work, is getting 'trapped' in it. Sex work often allows people to flexibly make much more money for less work. If you want to quit, you have to go back to a much lower-paying job, with a ton of hours, and that can feel unacceptable.

It seems like this could apply across a number of industries, particularly those with a high degree of vocational specialization.

I think the same thing happens in cases where it's more about having to walk away from a high level of social status rather than money.

I have known physicians who seemed to be in a similar position (though medicine is expected to have high time demands, still I've known doctors who seemed to get no enjoyment or satisfaction from the work and continued because sunk costs).

If I were doing it, I think I would try to make as much as I could as quickly as I could then try to retire or at least get enough income to go to college fulltime. Haven't thought it through too deeply, though.

Isn't their worst case scenario what most people have as a default option though? Sounds like a nice problem to have.

This reminds me of "Helen of Troy does countertop dancing": "Get some self-respect and a day job. Right. And minimum wage, and varicose veins, just standing in one place for eight hours behind a glass counter bundled up to the neck, instead of naked as a meat sandwich."

What I find more interesting are the highly educated SW'ers that remain simply because their earning potential is so much greater despite stigma, etc.
