I will not be so naive as to say there are not some ladies in the industry who have addictions or other issues that led to them doing what they do. Whether they consider themselves victims is not something I have asked. I also know as many, or more, who are clean living, have families, and are 110% in it as a clean business, with plans for the future. I'd say out of both categories the majority of ladies I know in this field are also in school/therapy and working to improve their stations in life. I should also note that this could all be said for many other working ladies in a billion and one different industries from bank manage to CEO to that girl who served you at timmies this morning.
I, as I can only really answer for myself, am definitely not a victim. Did I see myself in this field when I applied to university a few years ago? No. Honestly, I did not see myself here 6 months ago! But I made this choice with a clear head and a desire to explore myself further. I love what I do. Sure, days that are slow or filled with no shows are frustrating but days where I know I have helped someone offload some stress, get out of their head, or just have some fun, make up for that 10 fold. To assume none of us like what we do is ridiculous, I think that lady has some seriously repressed issues to sort out.
