Not to gloss over the remainder of your post but there's more:
1. Limited amount of paid time off
2. Federal tax, Provincial tax, EI and CPP deductions
3. Non-compensated overtime for white collar specialized occupations
4. Performance appraisals
There could be more but i hope i could clarify some aspects of a 'regular job' better for you.
Okay I love this comment most of all. A lot of girls do claim taxes as self employed workers. What I am surprised at is if this is a factor in this related topic.
I will say, what about the business person who does under table jobs, earn cash on the side through business and do not give receipts so they do not have to put jobs on there account books?
What about the small to medium business man who hire workers, who do under the table on cash job assignments, and does not pay WISB to the government. Nor do they pay taxes, EI, CPP deductions….Oh I forgot this is legal? O yea these are regular jobs as well! Well no matter how you look at it.
I am guessing this above sort is acceptable based on the fact people can turn a blind eye, and it hold less stereotyping involved…Or should I say the label of stripper, massage attended, or service provider.
I could explain reality to you more if you wish? I am sure an argument of your caliber, hold the demerits of someone who needs to look out their window, and view what actually going on in society, politics and our economic foundation.
Want to argue the point below, make is simple, legalize it and stop with the attitude of what makes it wrong! Or attempting to clarify a regular job is.
As for clarifying a regular job for you,” It is a position of employment that allows a person, or person to obtain some financial stability within their lives that allows them to pay their bill, a roof over their heads, maintain somewhat a healthy lifestyle, contributes to society through investing in economic growth (meaning they buy products and goods), as well as claim taxes as a self employed worker and saving a little money a long the way.”
In short when you define what is regular jobs please do so with the understanding. This in itself is a regular job, it customer service oriented and division within society have chosen to use the services provided. Thus making is a contributing business entity and market place. Oh, also apparently is fall prey to the same above mentioned.
So in her mind, she sees this occupation where decent guys are going to walk away. She
lives by herself. She parties with her girlfriends. Why? Because, as she again told me, the only guys who chase her are old creeps, pimps or otherwise losers who she's not interested in. She does want a 'normal life' (her words) with a house, family and kids in the future.
I hope that gives you some insight into one 22 yr old dancer's life and her hopes for the future. To me it was sad because even after making a lot of $$, she's fundamentally alone (yes, text messages to that effect and no she wasn't asking me to come and spend $$ on her).
Apparently your friend need to quite, if she has such a view of this herself and it is affecting her in such away, lowering her opinion and self esteem; and you my friend if you really have these feeling of this industry need to stop going to strip joints or others, and join a chores group at a church.
As for dirty old men (they are customers), I guess a young man is okay since he does not want to wank off a lone( Yet could we not say, he is a dirty young man or does being a young sex addict make them better?); and the use of pimp (A pimp is defined as a person who uses force and control over a service provider to extract money.)
Some girls are in loving relationships, work at this part time because neither are earning enough. Some are single mothers who do this because they can not find work that pay well enough and they love their families. Simple sacrifices done out of love in an economy that is fucked up.
Because personally in a realistic sense of reality people do what they feel they need to do based on individual perception of the surroundings around them. Not everyone has opportunity. So they make opportunity happen. The best way they can in order to retain some merit of stability in a society that bent on draining their pockets, or having you heard these words before,” Money is like water it has a tendency to evaporate if you aren’t getting enough.”
Enclosing this I can only say," What the hell you think life is the leave it to beaver show? Damn wake up it more like the adams family...all screwed up and people are making it through life the best way they can."
