It really depends on you. There are a lot of judgmental people on Yahoo!, but then there are in society too. There are people who will always think of you as a whore for the rest of your life if they ever found out that you stripped. You need to be able to deal with that.
You are going to have to be very confident. Not everyone has what it takes to bare it all in front of a room full of pervy drunken (old) men. You are going to have to accept that you may be grabbed, touched inappropriately, heckled, laughed at, insulted, all while naked or semi-naked. That's a lot to take. You are probably good looking or you would not be considering stripping, but how would you feel if a few times a week some drunk calls you fat, or tells you that you have an as5 like a hippo, or have nasty t1ts, etc etc.
Drunk men who frequent strip clubs often do because they are inadequate (not all by any means, just some). When you strip for them they are reminded of these inadequacies and become belligerent and insulting. Many of them are sexist bastards who will view you as nothing more than a piece of meat for their entertainment.
So you have to ask yourself if you have the self confidence to put up with the bad customers and the insults. The insults are going to be a lot harder to take when you are semi naked too.
Now you say you want to make money fast. Well you are also going to have to buy some stripper outfits, learn to dance on a pole, learn how everything works, audition, get a job etc. It may not be quite as quick as you had hoped.
Some of the other strippers can be bitchy too. So you may have to deal with their crap too.
Finally you are going to have to writhe around and let nasty men put dollar bills in your stripper band!
But at the end of the day, if you feel you can handle all the negatives, of which there are plenty. If you think you have the self discipline to avoid the lure of drugs and prostitution. If you have the self confidence to do what you need to do. Then what the hell? Why not?
What ever you choose to do, good luck! Do it for you, not anyone else.

I love it when people from other parts of the country try to answer a Vegas question.
Vegas was built on the Sins of the earth. Its a different universe than any other city. Sex and stripping, not always the same, are sold right next to toothpaste and breath mints.
its been that way for generations... this means a lot of kids were raised around it and went on to live "normal" lives.
Stripping, here, is a job. You go in, do your time, go home or to school.
Half of the strippers retire at 28 very well off. half die broke and on drugs with a pimp.
the smart ones use it as a job and they socialize right next to the PTA mother. No harm in that.

Honestly, regardless of the morality factor, you will be addicted to the "easy" money. Stripping goes far beyond dancing topless in front of a bunch of strangers. You'll have to do lap dances, private shows, for guys older than your father! If you're ready for that kind of attention go for it!
Otherwise if you have a nice body and are good looking work as a waitress or bartender (maybe hooters??). There are some waitress who make like 400 dlls in a night.
So scan all your options, and good luck with your choice!
PS
If you're having second thoughts go to a strip joint and watch the strippers in action, talk to them and ask them questions.

here is your answer:
If you feel as if stripping is a job that you can do and later on not regret then go for it. The money wont be worth feeling like trash in the afterhours or not being able to sleep at night. Dont put yourself in a job that will make you feel demoralized or worthless.
IMO if a stripper has a nice body, can strip tastefully, abstain from certain acts according to his/her own moral code then I would not see them in a bad light. Strippers are working what they can to make money and we ALL need money, so I cannot blame them.
you need to ultimately decide if this is what is right for you by yourself, not go on what people on the internet say.

I can give you some advice here as I’ve seen someone make a good career out of “adult dancing.”
An actress I used to perform with worked as a dancer (unlike the rest of us who were waiting tables). She didn’t do lap dances, didn’t pump and grind and never went down to less than a two-piece bikini, yet she made more than anyone else in the club. Her secret was that she was a good listener. When a man paid her to dance, she would dance for him, but after she would sit and listen to him, and pay attention and make him feel like he was the most interesting thing in the world. Some of her regulars were investment bankers and by listening to them ***** about their jobs she learned how to invest her money. My friend kept her nose clean, didn’t do drugs, hang out and drink, or anything else that is typical of adult dancers. She retired before she hit 40.
If you do become a dancer, remember what my friend did. You can't dance forever, so prepare for the future. Don’t party your money away. Take as much as you can afford of that income and invest it wisely. Don't work all your life, let your money work for you. Once you have enough principle, the intrest will make a nice addition to your working income from your day job.

It is a slippery slope. I have a friend who started stripping because her stand up act was going now where and before you know it she was using drugs and selling her body. It is a different culture in the strip club and once you surround yourself in it, it is very hard to get out. There are better ways to make money.

A lot of self-opinionated "feminazis" will tell You how to live Your life based upon heir particular idealism. Do what You feel is best for You. My Mother was a STRIPPER and She was neither morally nor ethically corrupt in any measure of the word. My best friend put Herself through a psychology course at university by working as a topless barmaid and stripper. My wife wasn't too bad at it in Her day either. Don't let fear
hold You back! P.S. There are even some of us men who have been on the stage too! The very least that can happen will be that like Myself and some others You will in the future be able to speak from experience.

Don't do it if you only plan on stripping for a few months. The money is addicting and you will have trouble working a "normal" job with less pay afterwards.

Are you really asking this question, or do you just want to justify this some how. The money will never be enough, the more you make the more your life will rapped up in a dead end road. I have never seen anyone better off after they go down this road. But what the hell ,Its your body.

I quite frankly would not suggest that, unless you do not care about having your dignity and morals compromised. It is not an easy thing , it is not just stripping when you are in that kind of environment there would be touching, people calling you names, making you feel like a worthless piece of meat. I have firends that do go to strip clubs and that's what they tell me about the girls that work there. Please do not do it, you can find another job that will make you feel like a respectable woman. Money is not everything.
