 There was a girl in one of my university classes who worked evenings as a stripper.  I know there are people who consider jobs like that to be exploitation and demeaning to women but damn she made good money. This was in the early 70s. I had had a summer job in an alloy smelting plant where the heat, the noise and the dust was tough to deal with, plus the extreme physical exertion of the actual work.  I was making $4.25 an hour, which was pretty good money at the time.   She was working about 4 hours a night doing 3-4 sets and getting  $350 a week. She was making more than twice as much per week, for times as much per hour, than I was.  And she was the one being exploited?

Dave, you missed an opportunity.  You should have become a stripper and made that kind of money.
