If you read my original statement, did not say SPs where. But for example, 'girl leaves house, girl tells drive "wow nice plasma TV", driver comes back latter after calling the house.'
One family in 10 (roughly) in Toronto is touched by crime every year. Simple actions can reduce that to 1 in 1,000. Other actions bring the number to 1 in 1.
The company that services my furnace do background checks on their workers and drivers. Actually most companies do that now days.
Sorry Fabulous, I hear you are fabulous, but I just cannot tell how well you check out your drivers etc. Of course once you get to know someone it would be foolish to maintain that level of concern.
But a complete strangerregardless of occupation might be a bit of a risk.
You have every right to be concerned. Heck, I completely understand what you are saying because I hire service people to enter in to my home when I am not here. I understand why you might want to have your guard up. I hire a dog walker who comes here 5 days a week to look after my dog while I am at work. She has the keys to my home and while I do not have a nice plasma TV, I do have expensive electronics (a lap top with thousands of dollars of work/software and sensitive documents on it). The young person who I selected to walk my dog is someone who I would like to think I know relatively well. I know this person's family. The fact that I built a rapport makes me feel that I can trust her enough to enter in to my home, look after my animals and leave without taking anything. So far this person has proven herself to be a trustworthy young adult.
That said, I would like to think that most people who work in the sex industry are pretty simple people just looking to make good, fast, drama free money. We are people with families to feed and look after. The last thing we want is to be spending time away from our people because we are in jail.
My experience in sex work, was that the majority of the people I worked with were people with jobs, families and outside lives. I knew people in the sex industry who worked day jobs in banks, schools, real estate offices, law offices, accounting, etc. These were the type of people who would not be willing to put their futures at risk, and often sex work was just done for a relatively short period of time to meet a short term goal. For example, a sex worker I knew was working towards becoming a flight attendant for a major airline. She was an on again, off again sex worker basically because she liked expensive things.
I for one am one of those cases. I have a university degree, and a decent job with good benefits. When I applied for my job they did everything from a criminal record check and credit check to a psych profile. If I ever got a criminal record for stealing or robbing someone I can promise you I would get fired in a heart beat. My line of work involves dealing with sensitive information such as skip tracing, SIN numbers and credit reports (I see thousands of these a day). So robbing someone's house would not be worth it to me. To do something like that would prove that I have no ability to think of my future and would be showing little respect for my family and myself. It would just be a dumb move.
I am not in sex work at the time being, but I might be coming back. I want to be buying a house and getting some investments in a few years. I make roughly 35 k a year, and let's face it that is not a whole lot of money especially when you are getting started in life and the government taxes you to death. Basically (and I think i speak for all sex workers when I say this) I want to earn quick, drama free money without getting myself in to a shit load of trouble and losing my long term career in the process.
And getting myself arrested and/or not being able to sleep at night is not exactly my idea of drama free.
