There are a few girls in my area who work as strippers while in school to make extra money. I have been considering this for a while - I have a "model body" (tall, very skinny and fit), love dancing, like showing off my body/being naked in front of people, etc. I am really not sure what else I can do to make extra money considering my schedule is completely full between 10 and 5-6 pm every day, so I can only expect to get any sort of extra job in the evenings. I have two questions, though:
1) Is it possible to be a stripper/club dancer without having to talk to guys while on the job (i.e. just dance and perhaps some nonverbal gestures)? I can come off as normal until I start talking verbally to people.
2) Is is dangerous future career-wise? Can people find out that you were a stripper and have it impact your future prospects? I would like to become a child therapist in the future so I'm sort of concerned.
I make very little money now so I really would love to find a way to make more if possible to afford things like speech therapy and laser eye surgery.

IDK if guys at a strip club care so much about how normal the strippers are....in that case I think looks are much more important than social skills. But I think it would be difficult to have such a job if you weren't willing to have any verbal communication since from what i have observed the strippers do come up and talk to customers who come in(I was at a strip club once). As for career wise it is possible some employers or whatever would be turned off by a history of being a stripper....though I think its totally stupid, if someone is ok with doing it and even enjoys it I don't see what is wrong with making money that way. But I do not think it would totally prevent you from moving forward career wise...but maybe not something you want to make a point to put on a resume, not that I agree but I guess it is a position that has a little more stigma than say being a waitress.
Also though might want to watch out for bad and/or shady management....since that can exist in that field and they might try to take advantage and what not. So just remember if you did get that kind of a job that doesn't make any kind sexual harrasment from management or customers ok....so don't put up with anything like that. Not saying that would happen but some people seem to think if you're ok to strip then you're fine with unwanted touching/contact so if you do it make sure and find a place that enforces rules and doesn't have shady kind of management where they treat the strippers like low-life garbage.
