this is a throwawayAbout me: i am a college grad. Smart (enough) but really poor. I got a bill in the mail about paying back student loans and that's really got me down lately. Honestly I am really bitter about it. In high school I had a 3.9 gpa, was taking college level courses, i was involved in community service and extracurriculars, and to boot I was a racial and sexual minority. My family was lower middle class and struggled/worked hard just to keep afloat but the dept. of education decided they were making enough to pay for the whole 9 yards. I applied for a ton of scholarships, and proofread every essay thrice before sending it in, and still I got zilch.I went to college and focused on my studies. I also had a few low paying jobs on the side but in my case I found it really difficult to balance work and heavy duty biology courses. Now that I'm out of college, I have a more well-rounded world view (psssh) and I made a few good connections, so totally that's worth the $XX,XXX worth of debt in my mind. I'm working in the ER on $9.00 an hour which is a joke.I've been reading that sex workers can make a lot of bank. The full time prostitute is the most highly paid professional woman in America. An average streetwalker can expect to earn from $500 to $1000 per day, a salary that translates easily into an annual income of several hundred thousand dollars, all tax-free because of reasons. However I know that the primary beneficiary is often not the prostitute, but the pimp, who keeps for himself an amazing 85% of the earnings.Prostitution penalties are notoriously low, often amounting to no more than a night in jail and a minuscule fine. But I know that streetwalkers are arrested frequently and a long record of prostitution arrests makes it impossible to legitimately obtain credit, credit without which they cannot put a down payment on a home. As I am desperately poor, the pimp's immediate loan of food, clothing, shelter, a lawyer, and bail money kinda seems to me to be worth the exorbitant price. I just need someone to talk some sense into me.Anyone done this to stay alive? Would you say it is worth it? What other options are there? How does being a gay male prostitute compare to being a heterosexual female prostitute? What about "videocamming"? I am not a 6'2'' white, toned, totes masc muscular cis gay guy with perfectly tousled hair and a scruffy beard --- so I am not the vision of a typical gay man's sexual fantasy. I don't know if I am attractive enough to become a successful sex worker- I am thin and scrawny.P.S. Fuck the American higher education system.
