I suspect there's high mental illness in sex work not because sex work causes mental illness, but because sex work is more likely to be performed by people who are willing to go 'against the grain' for money - common in poverty, poor support networks, or general life difficulty.

Also I suspect this holds true with other professions which require 'rejection of society's blessing' to work - certain types of artists, or the 'hacker living in the basement' trope, for example.

Interesting. What about social workers who forsake societal expectations of making great sums of money in order to help the less fortunate? They certainly go against the grain.

not really. Society loves charity shit and to some extent hates 'richness' (e.g., the wall street protests). What society loves and hates isn't strictly about wealth, but about violating 'moral' norms
