I have seen a couple of new ladies over the last month or two. Both are university students who are in the business to help pay off student loans. As a result, I surmise that we as hobbyists have the opportunity to meet university students who would not be doing this if the cost of post secondary education was more affordable. Any thoughts on this??
Do Rising Tuition Costs Influence The Availability of Escorts??

“have to" is questionable. I'm not saying that their incentives to be SPs does not increase when tuition goes up (it would be an interesting to test this hypothesis if one could get relaiable data). However, given that not all do, it is hard to say they “have to” do this. Indeed, given that few male students have this option open to them and still go to university, I think that the "have to" statement is questionable.Eli said:
I believe there was an article on this topic in the York University student paper a while back. Does anyone remember??Eli said:
Had to mention a few things on this....
rising education cost might be an influence to a very few, but I very much doubt it is a strong relationship. I honestly don't think that most peoples moral slide-rule is that slippery.
As mentioned above 'have to' is pretty damn strong. I made it through 6 years of post-secondary education with very, very little debt. My brother on the other hand spent the same amount of time in PSE and had comparatively massive amounts of debt. The difference---working my ass off, both in school to get scholarships and several jobs, and making lots of tough, but thankfully short-term, choices regarding money.
Also, there are tonnes of really good paying, non-SP, summer jobs out there for students. Reality is that it seems that many 'youth' do not want to work.

"Moral slide-rule"?? That sounds a bit condescending to be honest with you. Personally, I don't think there is anything wrong with becoming an escort. Secondly, just because someone chooses to do so doesn't mean they are 'loose', or morally wayward. Just recently, I have met a fourth year Commerce student through an agency. She is one of the kindest, intelligent people I have met. Truth is, I believe that becoming an escort is a very shrewd financial move as it allows one to turbo charge their income while having increased time to devote to their studies. Moreover, some women just enjoy/crave sex!gdurham said:
Yes some use the biz to pay for school. But I also know a lot of girls who work long hours in regular jobs to put themselves through school. I still think that the social stigma attached with the biz keeps a lot of women away.
I think a lot of people will consider going to school closer to home to save on living costs or continue the wonderful tradition of OSAP.
A lot of people in general are staying with their parents longer than in the past.
Of course not everyone is fortunate to have these kinds of aid so some will go to extremes but there are a lot of stop gaps a long the way.
I think for many women they'd have a hard time getting past the idea of letting strangers touch them in sexual ways.
So there's so are many things in the way that prevent women from joining the biz as a result of rising tuition.

Funny you bring up the lifestyle aka spending lots of money. That IMHO is one of the biggest pratfalls to this biz: If you're popular, you can make 3 grand a week tax free. Pretty damn good money and from many sp's I know, nary a one has any savings.
Don't get me wrong, I know some don't make near that amount, but for those that do, large income, lots of clothes and toys, = no savings then when biz is slow, trouble happens.
Coupled with the fact that when you're making that much dough in this biz, regular jobs that pull that kind of salary are few and far between.

This brings forth a very interesting point. So, what is the difference?? I've seen women in this business that can have any guy they want at the drop of a hat - they are that beautiful. Is it that women are willing to make the sacrifice of sleeping with anyone that comes along in the interests of making a lot of money very quickly, is it that they are simply nymphos, Is it that they take a more liberal attitude toward sex in general, or a combination of these factors??frankcastle said:
After paying for private schools for the educational carreer to that point most parents find University cheap by comparison.
A university education is become very elitist where only the rich can afford it. By the time you get out you are looking at beginning your career with considerable debt over your head. If you don't get hired right away into a high paying job your basically screwed (no pun intended).
For that matter if you are willing to provide sexual services to pay for your education why not take the money and invest it in your own business venture?

Because of my own personal experience, I am quite bitter about education. I went to 6 years of post secondary school, spent many tens of thousands of dollrars on that "investment", and what did it get me? Did it get me a higher paying job? No. A very average paying job, with little benefits. Many of my friends who have no post secondary education make several times what I make because they developed their business skills. I used to think they were so lazy in school and destined for nothing. Unfortunately, in my experience, high school doesn't teach you crap about how things work in the real world, nor anything about finance/investment. I see people under so much pressure to get good grades and go to university and I think to myself how much of a waste it could be, as it was for me. If I had simply worked all that time when I was in university, and increased my pay as the years went by, or tried to invest all the money I spent on university in a business, I would be much better off now.Eli said:
My point is, escorting is a legitimate business. At least, I think of it that way, and someday more people will as well. Can be a GREAT money making opportunity for the right person. There is more to spend money on than education. With all the quick cash you can make as an escort/stripper, you could invest it.... in a house.... perhaps rent it out. Real estate is huge business now. Or, God forbid, actually make a career out of it, and not be ashamed. But.... people seem to have problems with making large amounts of coin.
People need to be smarter about how they handle their cash. I know other contractors who also make big money in a short time, and they complain to me as if making a lot of money is a bad thing!! Saying how they make a lot, but they also spend a lot fast. I'm like, "BE SMARTER THAN THAT YOU DUMB ASS!!!"? said:
Strippers and escorts could use more education on their business. There are many many potential problems in these businesses, and a lot could be avoided with regulation, and more open education on this business. Instead of upholding a negative stigma about the business, educate potential workers on potential problems like nasty employers, drug use, health safety, and handling cash.
I'm not acusing anyone here of upholding negative views. These are just general comments.
Hell, you know all these kids that are hacking their way into various banks, companies etc? The companies want to know who they are so they can hire them!dg235av2aa64w said:
It used to be that criminals and hackers would go after big business but with 256 and more encoding, that is too hard. Just as much can be made from going after the little fish.....
Sorry but I've never hired a student to do anything. I've worked with strippers who were also students though. A few of them actually are doing quite well now and are no longer stripping. Most however end up doing it far longer than they ever thought they would.short said:
