      Well sure but a decent, independent escort in a city is easily pulling in $200-$500 per client, seeing more than one client per day, and getting paid in cash. There are some expenses to account for but it’s pretty feasible to net six figures over the course of a year working just 5 days a week… or so I’ve heard.

        Some expenses like paying for drugs so you’re able to do that without feeling like killing yourself, paying your pimp that needs to pay your driver/bodyguard… In the end you might as well just get that degree instead.

      Let’s just if it’s one guy a day. And that already puts you above minimum wage.

      Make this a full-time job, get eight guys in a day. $292,000 a year. And you still weren’t even be working all day!

      At those numbers that’s not a side gig, that’s just a full career with early retirement depending on lifestyle.

        Except for, you know, the whole pimps extorting you and generalized abuse and ill treatment of sex workers. Forced labor, human trafficking risk, etc.

          i’m not saying those things aren’t a problem, but they don’t really move the needle in places where sex work is considered real work

            The places where sex work is considered real work and protected by law are a very tiny minority. Most of the world criminalizes sex work which adds police and state harassment to my list.

                  great! then you should be all for legalised and regulated sex work… because that’s the way it is here in melbourne, australia and its excellent and good for everyone… in the real world
