    Funny thing is a lot of sex workers near uni towns will actually be grad students working to pay tuition costs, and not like “doctorate in underwater basket weaving” like the right likes to try and demonize all degree paths but work degrees as, I’ve seen MBAs and Law School students doing this too.

      And shit its not a bad idea. If you can pull a lot of money each night you might graduate debt free. Which, in modern times, frees you of the noose of school loan repayments. I would much rather strip than have to pay these back right now on my inflexible career salary. Now, the abuse that comes with it is not okay. But that goes along with the demonizing of these profesions.

        I mean there are safe routes, Tryst looks to be run by a cooperative of tech and sex workers, or at least started as something like that with the intention of making sex work as safe as possible.
