however, if you are simply here for extra money or to get from point A to point B, not that hard at all to walk away when your goal (s) are reached. As for the lifestyle change, mine did not change much, except for the obvious not having to make excuses to get away, constant travel, etc. I never lived beyond my means when I was a provider or before and after I was in the business.  

If you have no education or job skills, then sure, it's not going to be that easy to land a position that pays a substantial income for you to live on and support a family so I pity women in that position but more and more former providers are starting charities and houses to help such women who have no other options and feel trapped. A 4 year degree does not mean shit today, unless it is in something like Engineering or Health Sciences... Business and Marketing, you pretty much need a Masters as I have learned and acted on years ago. Even with that, it was still hard to get a salary I was comfortable enough with to stop providing.  

My prediction is that in the next 10 years, we are going to see more and more houses being used for women and children who truly want to get out of this business, but can't because of drugs, a stalker pimp, financial reasons and the list goes on.  

Those who are literally addicted to such a lifestyle have the hardest time breaking free and really see no reason to ever stop altogether, but a very small percentage of the women I have met would fall into that category. They are smart enough to realize that the older and uglier you get (yes, it happens to everyone) that the rates will decrease and more will have to be done to even get it. By that time, there is a lot of resentment towards men and the business, I would assume. The key is not to let that happen, which is why I would never suggest anyone come here out of desperation.

If it would be compared to a jazz musician walking away from a life in music?

Or would it better be compared to a dealer walking away from a career in the casinos?

Works on her graduate degree. She is askng herself this samee question. She is wondering how she will get used to having less or more monogonous sex. She isn't worried about the money she s worried about the bordom.

A lot easier than it is for a guy to quit.

Who is trying to get out of the business.  She's young, stubborn, won't accept help from social services or from hooker rescue organizations (they exist) and doesn't have the self-discipline to save money.  Has no schooling past high school but wants to be a psychologist.  She's very bummed out about her position, but too stubborn to accept advice or help.
She was sort of raised in the business if you get my drift, and has no other marketable skills past food services, etc., which would piss her off with the very low pay.  She can make in an hour now what it would take a week at McD's.
Going to be a difficult transition for her.  She's looking for a sugar daddy, I think, and have already told her that I'm not that guy.

Another girl I know has a business degree and part way to her Masters.  She has a potential job offer in the mid $40s, which if she gets, she says that she'll quit providing since she'll be able to survive OK on her civvie pay, except for a couple guys who will go on freebie status.  (We'll see about that part.)  So the transition will be easier for her.

Sensitive topic but yet a true observation.  

The lifestyle, the sex, the money, the love etc can be addicting.

Its a matter of choice, responsibility and the enjoying the journey, not anticipating the destination. While I find it all fun and pleasurable, I am aware that the ride should be short lived, unless I choose otherwise.

Angel.

move on once she achieves her goal(s) of degree, bills paid, or whatever.

Many ladies have made the transition successfully. Yes, it can be done.
