They say desperate times call for desperate measures...
The question is, what exactly would be the breaking point to push you into doing something that you wouldn't normally do?
So you look down at your 3 year old son... You cant afford daycare at your current job, making only $22,520 working customer service at a collections agency where you have to ask to get up and use the bathroom. The one bedroom apartment you have is enough to get by but, truth be told, you're tired of the smell of weed and cheap liquor. Not to mention the fact that your kid keep asking what that knocking and screaming sound is and you're getting tired of telling him that the next door neighbors are watching a scary movie...
So you got a decision to make...
Keep living well beneath check to check...
Or figure something else out.
According to this article on AJC's website, more women are starting to "figure something else out". And by "figure something else out" I mean become exotic dancers. The story says that quite a few ladies a lining up at Atlanta police stations to get their $350 license to dance. Some of these women don't want to dance but feel like the job provides "easy money" when the "9 to 5" just ain't cutting it. My heart goes out to all of those who reluctantly do this just to make ends meet but feel forced to do so out of necessity.
My question to you is, if it came down to it, would you strip or do you try and "tough it out" and make do with less while maintaining a job that doesn't cover all of your expenses just so that you maintain your image?
Honestly, that's not a question that I can personally answer without being in that situation. The resilience of a human being's will to survive is a force to be reckoned with. You will be surprised at what you will do when your back is up against the wall.
