What ?!

http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2005-01-14-stripping_x.htm[^] I think this is ridiculous. Apart from any other consideration, how long can a person work as a stripper ?! For 10 years ? What are you supposed to do after that ? Become a cocktail waitress or something (worse) ? This sounds weird to me as a career choice.

I'm not really bothered about the morality. But when you're 13 and have your whole life in front of you there are so many great things you can do (or atleast aspire to). Like become a nuclear physicist. I don't think we really need motivational speakers to advice kids that they can make more money easily by becoming strippers (or bouncers or cardsharks or ...well you get the point) "One of the Georges," said Psmith, "I forget which, once said that a certain number of hours' sleep a day--I cannot recall for the moment how many--made a man something, which for the time being has slipped my memory."

Number don't lie :) Like become a nuclear physicist: 12 years High School -at least 8 years university ( probably more PHD needed )- then you get to work in either Gov research or teach. Salary tops 100K. Stripper: 12 years school - between 150K and 250K salary after than- no additional schooling needed. So the stripper is about 1,000,000.00 ahead from the get go. If she can continue for 15 years ( 18+15=33 ) at an average of 200,000.00 per annum the stripper makes 3000000.00 the physicist makes about 1500000.00. So the stripper saves 1/2 of her salary = 1500000 at 5% = 75000 per annum interest income with no growth. With any kind of luck and financial advice she will probably retire at the age of 34 with an annual income of around 100K. Damn!! I should have been a girl with a pair of 38's.

I'm 24. I've been working as a programmer for a little less than two years and I'll happily retire if I had the option :) "One of the Georges," said Psmith, "I forget which, once said that a certain number of hours' sleep a day--I cannot recall for the moment how many--made a man something, which for the time being has slipped my memory."

Ok, stripping, fair enough it's not everyone cup of tea but if you're good at it then why not? Promoting it to fourteen years olds is unlikely to go to down well with conservative parents but it is a valid option. However... I don't get this: " Di Salvo heard about the exchange when the mother of a student called him the next morning. She said she was outraged when her son announced that he was forgoing college for a career in a field he truly loves — fishing. " What the hell is wrong with fishing? She was 'outraged'? :wtf:
