someone who has actually made the transition to executive level management.  You should PM Fancy.

Employment gaps are bad for everyone, not just the ladies.

I've found that jobs I've applied for--more to see if I can still get offers on them--haven't really had an issue. Most girls, myself included, have built other business to be able to explain gaps in time where we're not a wage slave to someone else. For example, I own a photography studio and an adult film production company. So I can toss my portfolio of my photography (of course not the escort photography I do) on a desk, which seems to clear up any questions.

I know a couple girls that have gotten to their end dates that have had something to fill those gaps, an have had no issue. Girls that don't seem to have a very difficult time.

I mean even without my RTF production work, I could fill those gaps with the two books I've been writing. I'm sure it would be a lot more difficult to explain, but don't see the that as a road block to reentey if I wanted to exclude my photography and production stuff.

I think a lot of girls come back, at least part time, because they get use to a certain lifestyle and income that a 9-5 just isn't making up for, at least in terms of disposable income. So I think a lot of girls tend to get themselves in trouble by not adjusting spending to match the new job.

I have no interest in Pershing a civilian job, an plan on making a transition away from being a provider my 2020 to just producing porn exclusively in 2020. I'm sure everyone I've seen I'll still see, but that will be the end of any actual advertising.

For me, having some pretty significant PTSD from combat trauma, regular jobs creates a lot of issues. So it's very unlikely I'd even be able to do it if I wanted to. Beyond that, I'm not a fan of repetitive tasks and work, so I don't have an interest in returning. Excuse of that too.

As far as skills, being a heaux translates well to middle upper management. I've actually adapted many of the skills I have from the military directly to being a provider, so I don't see why those interpersonal skills, such as manipulating a situation, would translate amazingly well.

This is my fun time and side gig. Work when I want and not because I have to. I think I've made a great life for myself and doing pretty damn well it but everyone's perception of success is different. Than again I never was a corporate girl and always have preferred working in private sector and odd hours.

I have a full-time gig as well and actually was just promoted to a higher executive position. In addition, I'm working on my doctorate. So, unfortunately, the time I have usually been able to dedicate is becoming even more slim.  

Being a provider or a woman part of the Heauxverse, serves as a part-time escape from the corporate world. If we are honest with ourselves, you can't really be yourself in corporate - you can show some personality but not let it all out. You can be warm and empathetic but still have to have a little bit of ice in your veins. Here, I can be my authentic self and clients and other providers embrace that. I don't have to hide that I get to call the shots, but when I leave the office, I'm always smiling, laughing at or making inappropriate jokes, and diving head first into adventure.  

LJ, xox

Last month I accepted a management position paying close to 6 figures.  
It's different, time consuming, and requires a lot of thinking. I got lucky I'm always interviewed by men. I just have a way of making people feel comfortable. Getting a internships gave me opportunities to prove my worth to companies. I miss proving my worth for naughtier occasions.  

I miss traveling to big cities, staying at luxury hotels, spending a day at the spa, and being paid for being sexy. I guess that's what vacations are for, lol. I'm lucky I spent my hobby funds to get a higher education. I did online school which was more expensive but easy. I used my "people skills" to secure an internship at a prestigious company and because of my work ethic, I was offered a great opportunity with benefits.  

While hobbling, I've always kept a job, internship or volunteered. I used the hobby to network, gain people skills & invest in my education. I like the real world career but I miss the hobby like crazy.  I miss having wild sex, fulfilling fantasies, and cumming more than once a month. Being in a monogamous relationship sucks when the other partner is less interested in sex. My drive is so hefty because of these raging hormones. Wish I could find a partner to help me with my needs without getting attached emotionally; that's what I miss about the hobby.  

Feel free to email me any questions. I don't get PMs yet because I need more reviews I guess.

Yes. I know 3 ladies who moved from sex work...

to civvie careers and are doing well for themselves. I keep in periodic touch with 2, and regular touch with one.

I know several ladies that work regular a job (for example, in nursing) and play in their free time only.  

As far as verifiable evidence goes... I'm not about to out anyone for the sake of your question.

As far as "hooker skills" are concerned... many of the corporate middle- and upper-management/executive types I've met have been self-involved idiots. Lots of our women could eat their lunch any day when it comes to people skills and common sense.  

I dabble in the corporate world (upper level management) but only for sex positive organizations. My LinkedIn profile has my Tantra work on my extensive resume. At this age I'm not coming in to the office for anyone unless it's a weekly meeting. Nothing I do in management can't be done from video conferences. I've had enough wealthy Johns to know that. I am still in a leadership position as a consultant for 2 organizations but I love touching people and I love cumming.

I remember supporting trips where people traveled all over the world. They saw children who lived in landfills with shacks as houses, and holes to pee in.

They played in dirty water - but the community seemed happy.  

We lose sight of what we have here sometimes, and in Western Civilization, I believe the standards we set within our culture are very skewed. but it's our culture, nonetheless. Any event you go to, plane you sit on, or even bar you drink at - the question is usually asked, "What do you do for a living?"

I tell em I'm a whore. Kidding - I tell them my man supports me financially. LOL. Great cock-blocker, by the way lol!

Please remember, women were picked as concubines to the kings and it was acceptable. Men have had, what we would now call "affairs", they would call courtesans.

I feel if someone is happy, they can make something work.

The answer to life isn't an "executive position". If everybody was an executive, the world wouldn't go 'round.

People have different joys. Many can't accept it, because it's impossible to understand it.

I remember a man who used to talk down to taxi drivers, and wouldn't tip them much, even for long rides. I always slipped another $5. He would say, "Why would you do that? They have the ability to makes something of themselves, and they're not. They don't deserve a tip."

I said, "Just because YOU wouldn't be comfortable with something, doesn't mean everybody should be uncomfortable with it."

A life is a life. And we can't all sit around and try to figure out why others do what they do, and we sure can't change it. If we do actually change others, maybe that isn't such a good thing.

I don't pity the cashier, nor the plumber. I'm glad they're there - many of which have smiles on their faces. (At Walgreens, at least lol!)

Not sure what you mean by "those who have made it"- the vast majority of mid range escorts are only around for a couple of years, after which they go on to professional employment, settle down to have children, etc. It's not exactly "verifiable", but I personally know quite a few former sex workers who are now gainfully employed in a professional position. Many of them are nurses (a few different studies have found a significant prior too of sex workers are current healthcare workers or are doing sex work during education/training for a healthcare position. I find that interesting- it makes sense to me that the kind of people who can work with sick bodies without getting emotionally involved can also work with the sexual demands of healthy bodies without getting too involved personally)  

As far as advanced degrees? I've personally been close friends so with four women who started  sex work after the only job they could find with their masters/phd was at Starbucks or in food service. Only 1 of those is still around this world. Of the others, one is a married stay at home mother; the other two are successfully employed in their field.  
As far as public, verifiable success stories? Charlotte Shane is a successful writer, and the author of two published books which have done well in sales as well as garnered significant critical acclaim. Many current clients and sex workers know who she was as a "working girl" in this world, but she doesn't link her sex work persona to her professional name for her privacy.  
There are quite a few other success stories who are active in the sex worker rights community.  

Gaps in employment -
I don't think this is a problem for most. Of the higher end working girls I've known well, the ones successfully doing this as their primary or sole employment for any length of time have all had things arranged so that they have a cover story as well as a believable and verifiable job; most as a small business owner, contractor, etc.
Many others with advanced degrees do this while completing further education/training in their field, so there is no gap to explain. Lastly, there are many successfully employed women who do this on the side, in order to pay off student loans/debt, save for an early retirement, or merely for extra disposable income.  

Personally? I spent time in this world for a while a couple of years ago while finishing my degree and working in an internship. I left for a few years after starting my first "grown up" job in my field. After a few years, I'm still one sort of "low man on the totem pole" at work, but I've earned a solid reputation and the respect of my coworkers and bosses, so I became comfortable with  dipping my toes back in around here. I'm still very mindful of my privacy, and I don't advertise beyond having a profile on p411. My job means a  hectic and busy schedule, so that works fine for me. I primarily see regulars or referrals, along with meeting the occasional thoroughly screened new friend as my schedule (and interest) allows.  
Ok, that's veering into sounding like threAD territory, but I do have a point! My job is great, and I'd be devastated to lose the opportunity to work in my field if I were "doxxed". But my job doesn't have licensing boards, standards/ethics committees, and isn't the kind of field where my background is checked out or my history here would impact my  current work negatively. It's also the kind of field where I could work for myself, freelance, etc should scandal ever head my way. Yet I'm still that careful and under-the-radar. So I have a hard time believing thoe who claim advanced degrees and careers high up the corporate ladder, yet advertise heavily and plaster photos around the web. I'm sure there are some who truly do have those credentials or careers, but I just can't imagine putting yourself out there so heavily if you are risking the job you plan to do for the rest of your working life.

 
Sorry, didn't realize I wrote such a novel! Not sure it's even pertinent, as aside from a couple of  my trusted long term regulars will ever be able to 'verify' any of that, haha.

My former ATF said at one point that she was a fitness trainer. I don't know if that was true, but she was certainly qualified for it. I don't know if that type of job would be something that could be salable into one's 50's or 60's.

Your schtick is tired. You've made your position crystal clear even to the slowest of us. Your premise is that no person would ever sacrifice a supposedly cushy civilian career in favor of sex work. You seem to be very bothered by sex workers who DARE, nay, who have the very TEMERITY to claim some measure of success in academia, or the corporate world, or, even more broadly, purport to have the qualifications to make a livelihood outside of sex work. Why does it burn your buns so hard, I wonder?

Can you conceive of the fact that there are as many hooker origin stories as there are hookers, and there's a complex network of interconnected variables that work in concert to bring people to the sex industry? And that this journey is not that different from the background that brought you to whatever you do to make a living, at least quantitatively?

Have you considered that your experience of the corporate world is not everyone's?  One can absolutely be extremely educated and good at one's job in the corporate milieu and still not advance or make even high 5 figures. There are definitely caps on advancement in many industries and job security is an illusion- everyone is dispensable. Not all careers that demand multiple advanced degrees generate considerable incomes. Middle management can be soul-crushing, with minimal authority and maximal responsibility. Your bosses may be total knuckleheads who have failed up, and rejoice in exploiting your work for personal gain. Even if your personal experience doesn't reflect this (you're lucky!), certainly you must concede that these circumstances are ubiquitous?

Let's say the money is exponentially better- there are plenty of people who don't measure their success by how much money they make.

If you're as smart and successful as you seem to think you are, you must be able to surmise that there are only about a billion ways that hooker skills translate in the corporate world- interpersonal skills, ability to self-start and work independently, entrepreneurship, budgeting, organization, flexibility, marketing/advertising/branding are all highly valued skill sets.  

Gaps in employment? I KNOW you know that women are still charged with the responsibility of being the primary caretakers of their children and families, so it's not unusual to have a woman entering or returning to the workforce after a gap. Some women are lucky to not have to work a 9-5 if they can't or are unable to so they can raise children and/or attend to aging parents or sick relatives. (If this mode of care taking doesn't qualify as legitimate work to you because it is unpaid, then yikes.) I also know that you know that plenty of sex workers fall into this category, too. Are you mad at that?

 Certainly many women are behind the 8 ball when attempting to return to (or enter) the workforce after a gap in employment, but that's changing (sloooowly!), and there are some sectors and companies which are more enlightened than others in this respect. If you'll concede that women seeking corporate employment after a gap caused by the above should be given due consideration, why wouldn't you concede the same for sex workers? Because sex work is...wrong? Less virtuous? Weird.

Most hookers I know work their proverbial balls off, so the argument that they're lazy or miserable doesn't hold much water. Sex work is real work, I PROMISE. It can be just as rigorous and challenging as earning an advanced degree is, and as demanding and labor intensive as maintaining a corporate position. But to stretch your credulity to accept that fact, you'd have to be humble enough to admit that perhaps you don't know everything about what it's like to be a hooker.

But let's say that EVERY HOOKER whose branding cites degrees earned or says that they're retiring to go corporate is lying. Who cares? You do, a LOT. And maybe you're part of the vicious circle- certain clients complain bitterly that sex workers are vapid or lazy or unrefined or stupid-->> hookers start inventing more "prestigious" backstories-->> clients complain bitterly that hookers are misrepresenting themselves.  

So, how about you? What's at the heart of this hooker disaccreditation campaign of yours? Are you a classist snob? Are you venting your rage on an easy target in a low-stakes, anonymous environment? Are you stewing with jealousy that people might be having more fun at their jobs than you are? Are you embittered because you perceive some injustice against you? Did a hooker retire on you only to return and not want to see you? Did a hooker fake retire to get away from you? Is it simply that you have a screw or several screws loose and hate hookers and/or women?  I have no idea, only suspicions.  

What I do know is that your posts are mean as fuck and raise my hackles with their sometimes overt and sometimes covert vitriol. I'd normally not adopt such a condescending tone, condescension sucks, but I'm mostly reflecting your tone back to you. You don't seem like a happy or healthy person, and while my heart goes out to you and I really, really hope you can get over what's bothering you so much, I know enough to use my alias. I really do think you're worthy of love like everyone else is, and that's me being 100% earnest.

I don't even want to be in the position of having to explain employment gaps.  It's likely I will eventually use my GI bill to get a degree in something that would be useful to running my own business or being self employed.  I have no concrete plans for retirement but make sure to pay myself first every month so I have something to fall back on or capital to start my own business.  In this day and age it's definitely easy to think outside the box and for me a high powered career isn't the answer.  I figure I have at least a good 10 years left in this biz so I'm more inclined to focus on improving my business here than focus on a retirement plan beyond going to school and saving money.

I already have a professional position. It is my priority. Since I am single and no kids I have the privilege to do what I please with my free time. I love having options and being financially free and I also love escapades so why not combine the two.  

I have no gaps in employment history. That's an important thing that everyone has to think about whether you are in between jobs, taking a break for family, or taking time to pursue other dreams. Whatever it is, you better have a professional way to explain that gap. For example, I worked with a two girls in this industry who are artists. One does custom artwork and the other does sculptures. If they decided to join the corporate world one day their simple explanation for having a gap is "I took time to refine my skills in art work, and I have completed so many projects, shows, and events, and blaaa blaaa." Then they can answer the "why corporate now?" Question with "well, I have carefully studied artistry management and I know what it takes firsthand to keep business operations in tact" or something along those lines.

 
For other providers who give 100% of their time to this industry I truly don't know how they do it or what their future career goals are. But with me, my priorities are straight. If I were to receive an executive-level position in my dream city I would drop this in a heartbeat. Besides my educational background, I have skillfully selected the type of extracurricular actovities that I become involved in so that if it came down to it I could use those to back me up.

I have a bunch of small side jobs that explain how I'm able to survive to friends and acquaintances. A bunch of my muggle friends are also various types of freelancers, so they get the feast or famine thing and don't look at me too weird when I go to Europe for fun. :P
I'm an artist so my career goals are different than if I wanted to go into business, or if I were currently pursuing higher education. So my future "employers" will be people who want to invest in my art, and won't necessarily be looking at gaps in my resume.
That said, I've heard of some ladies who are now doctors, or in academia, or are landlords etc. etc. etc. I understand this is still only circumstantial, not the verifiable evidence you're hoping for, but you must understand that I can't compromise anyone's privacy.
 It's tempting to hold onto antiquated notions (even if subconsciously) of the fallen woman unable to "rise out of her circumstances," but in my experience, and among the women I've met, they've been able to move on when they want to. IF they want to.  Please also take this with a grain of salt, as I'm coming from a background of tremendous privilege.

when you seem to already know the answer.  If you already know it all, why bother asking?  Do you really need the opinions of other board mongers that you don't even know to feel justified?  

Yes, hookers are usually drug addicted, pimped out or poor women with no viable options.  Is this what you want to hear?  Ok. I said it.  Move along.  Why do you care why hookers turn tricks?  Just pay, do your thing and be done with it.  As long as she's hot, what else matters?  And I'm not even a guy, yet, that's all I'd care about.

I mean, it's not like they can keep hooking till they're 65. Who's really gonna pay to get a piece of that old shriveled up ass anyway? Would you do it? And 65 was just an exaggeration, because in the hobby world, a 38 year old provider is considered old. Everybody be chasing that hot little 22 year old piece of ass, and before they know it the calls stop coming in. So if they still want to eat and pay rent after a certain age, they need to transition into a regular job, and it's best to step down gracefully on her own accord than to get booed off the stage with rotten cabbage. But here's a hint; one of the most popular job sectors in which to transition is Healthcare. They pay well, they're always hiring, and many positions are entry level, so you don't need more than your GED and a certification. So use some of that hooker money to go get certified as a nurse's aide. And as for the job gaps on your resume, just tell them that you went to go have a baby.

I love MILFs.  To me there is nothing sexier than an attractive MILF.  Often times they 1) are more secure with themselves and their bodies and therefore carry themselves well; 2) are excellent communicators; 3) create exceptional connections mentally and physically; and 4) are just so much more sensual than girls in their lower 20's.  Admittedly, though, there is certainly a limit.  It all depends on the lady.  For most ladies it is probably once they get into their late 40's or early 50's.
