My older sister told me a very similar story about coming home and crying after her first real job after college. She was 22 at the time. I was 17. I guess that story really stuck with me because I opted out of the regular work force and became a prostitute instead. twitter.com/sun_girlxo/sta…

'sex work is exploitative' yeah if you go to college and get a cushy white collar job then maybe it's exploitative by contrast but don't you dare try to protect the rest of us at the bottom for whom sex work is our one chance at a good income

How did that work, I think you came for a small town? Did you have to move to a city for clientele, and did you ever work a straight job once you left your hometown?

depends on the income distribution for whoring, it may just be as much of a dead end for 99% of people as a factory

Most people aren't psychologically cut out for it. But surely very different kinds of stresses and concerns than a regular blue collar job. The people I know who do it *really like having free time* and would likely have been fairly successful at some office job as well.

To each their own. It simply seems like a mindset that was limited to a very small range of choices. Almost everyone starts out their careers performing drudgery. I worked at an Orange Julius for God's sake.

I learned something today. There are 3 different periods of employment history. Great Depression was Survival. Employees took shit cause they needed to survive. Post GD came living standards. The dot com gen pushed for LS employment and didn't need to worry about survival.
