In fact, they were only stripping to help pay their way through nursing school.....
They take offense when you laugh in their faces at that line. Trust me; I know.
In my experience,
- most are screwed up,
- a very few have enviable street smarts, and
- I've known exactly ONE who was doing the job to support her college career. As soon as she got her biochemistry degree, she quit stripping and took a job as, oddly enough, a biochemist. I say "oddly enough" only because so many biochem degrees wind up in only tangentially-related job titles.
