Yep, from one socially conscious blog about child hunger and Sesame Street to the Spearmint Rhino and strippers, that's how the 'Tab rolls. |
Daily Mail - Hard-up students anxious about spiralling debt should consider working as lap dancers, says a boss Spearmint Rhino. John Specht, UK vice president of the lap-dancing chain, said: 'These girls earn a lot. Some of these girls are on their own and their parents can’t help them or are unable to help them. 'With the rising student fees the students know that they can come in and earn the money they need to survive. One Sheffield student, Jilly, who is studying for a law degree with hopes of becoming a corporate lawyer, started work at the club in the city two years ago. She said : 'I came to Spearmint Rhino because it was a way for me to cover most of my bills whilst working at the university. I am studying Law and I want to be a corporate lawyer. 'I worry massively that somebody might find out that I’ve done this and it might affect my career but I’ll cross that bridge when I come to it. 'Hopefully if it does happen I’ve got the necessary skills to explain that I am a student at university and I’ve got overheads ask what would you do if you were in my shoes?.”
I don't know who John Specht is trying to convince here, haven't strippers been "just working their way through college" for years now? Or at least paying for classes at Community College. In my limited experience I can't ever remember a "dancer" passing her story off as a high school drop out just looking for easy cash, or "I dance to support my 5 children while my baby-daddy gets drunk over there at the bar."
No, quite the contrary. If you took a quick poll while in a strip club asking what all the girls are using stripping to pay for you'd come away thinking you'd just hung out with one of the brightest collection of minds this side of a MENSA convention. Just Rhodes Scholars, law students, and pre-med naughty nurses in every direction. Hell, I once saw a legit 40 year old sad sack of a woman who I'm pretty sure was trying to pass off a story that she was just paying for her ph.d in physics.
So what I'm saying is, no need to recruit these college girls bro, the smart girls have been making the right choice for years. A few years of stripping to pay for a degree and a lifetime of respect and adoration as a well schooled and skilled politician/doctor/professional afterwards...right ladies?
