Lots of jobs have high demands. But someone is able to meet the standards. Those that can and do, are rewarded. If no one can meet the standards, the standards will be lowered. And / or wages raisede to attract ore talented workers. > So what's the difference with sex workers and strippers?

Not the "exploitation," or sleazy > treatment on the job. I have had jobs where I was not able to express my innate abilities, my full potential, or my full education. Which I feel are all sacred.

When I left the TMO, I was broke, and embarassed by my resume. I didn't know how to sell the skills I actually had. Though I made some creative tries. :) I floundered for a while. Which is easy when you are 22 but a bit odd when you are 32. But job by job,I saved, went back to grad school, got better jobs until I was doing cool stuff that paid well. So sucky jobs can serve a purpose. ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Get fast access to your favorite Yahoo! Groups.
