I have no doubt that some escorts have other sources of income. This can include stripping, Sugar Daddies, running an agency, acting as a scheduler etc. These sources of income are all forms of sex work.

Does anybody believe they have real careers beyond sex work?

check out my other career. Alas I suspect you just like the controversy you cause with your posts so it wouldn't be worth the risk to my other life to bother trying to put you straight.  
My other career is very mentally taxing and at times I find it too exhausting to be at my best in it so I take breaks to travel and this work not only funds that travel and flexibility but it's fun and more physical and less clinical than my other work.
Just because I chose to do this doesn't in any way mean I'm not equipped to work outside the sex industry.

Three escorts I've met in the last five years all work away from the sex work industry.  Most importantly we cannot forget the full time, under payed job of motherhood.  The others are legal assistant and computer consultant.

 Some of the P4P girls I've met:

  1.  ATF was a waitress--she worked in her aunt's diner.  
  2.  SB was a hairstylist. She worked in a salon and cut hair, including mine.  
  3.  Another provider worked at the YWCA,  assisting battered women.
  4.  Another SB was a full-time college student--she'd often ask me to proofread her papers, omg.  
   
  As you can see, Providers/SBs are regular people, just-like-you. In fact, you may a female relative who does P4, lol.  --z

I meant a full time corporate career that requires 50-60 hour work weeks. Most of the action is on weekdays between 9 AM to 7 PM. That is when married clients play. I have no doubt some could be a part time sales clerk or administrative assistant.

And for those who are strippers etc, who cares? They are manifesting the lifestyle they choose.  This world for women is about freedom and entrepreneurship!  Is there some problem with women making a strong and independent life???  Some of the most emotionally free women I have met are not traditionally educated.  That does not make them the bimbos that you are trying to corner them into...it makes them women who did not perhaps have the opportunities to choose traditional paths to formal educations whether that was due to their lives with their parents or some stumbling block like substance abuse, mental health issues,bad relationships/domestic abuse, financial challenges, and/or fierce independence in spirit.  Perhaps if you find one of these ladies, you might want to support their education if they so choose that since you find this subject one of scorn.

 I do and I know there are others like me...I work only one full time professional life rather than the two I used to work prior to hobbying.  When I say I am well educated and well traveled, I am honest. Grad school and 4 continents do not lie.  This is a lifestyle that being honest is just Devonshire cream on delicious sweet decadence!! If you ask me to produce truth...well, bring your diplomas to me and we can swap.  Not trying to be off putting, but honestly I find this so masogynistic.

Ladies, do speak up...shout out!!! This so hypocritical...if you do not find our attention valuable, do do look elsewhere.  Otherwise open your heart, your soul, your body and truly explore and enjoy.  For those who enjoy our naughtiness, come taste the flavor of so many different women who have common traits of openness, sensuality, and a true desire to please you!

I have no problem with girls getting into sex work. I do find most web pages (with high level degrees) pretentious and I find it hard to believe that someone with a great career in the corporate world would take the legal and social risk of prostitution.

I am not interested in your dime store psychology link.

I could understand an actress since that is usually part time work. I can understand a girl using escorting to finish school. I find it hard to believe that an "executive" can have a full time career that can take 60 hours a week and still be an escort.

Trust me, I know how many hours you have to put in in order to be successful at that level. That's why when I made the money I wanted to out of my corporate career I went on to something else.

O know a lady who travels for work as an engineering consultant who offers excellent services while on the road.
I also know some graduate students who provide (one who is working on her PhD) but they will probably not continue whether cheers are launched.

It is judgemental...based on false assumptions.  You are so wrong...yes, there are young ladies or even older who are financing education that they actually have time to do by being able to optimize their income enough to find the time to study and succeed.  Motherhood is also improved by being able to be home when your kids are there- and still having enough to pay bills.  As for your again judgmental stance on what even is a worthy job and the hours to devote to it...again pretentiously stated, we are from all walks of life.  I personally can block my time in a way to tour or to see day hours during some days of the week.   Many upper execs have flexibility just like their clients who come to them to be able to get out of the office liberally.    

As for your comment that seems to be reality testing the idea that women with higher paying careers would never risk going to jail...we do not sell sex.  Perhaps you purchase it...but we offer our time to explore and fantasy realm if two comsenting adults find themselves with mutual desire to do so.   This is my kink to...Being well educated does not prepare one any less or more for a jail/prison.  How dare you assume that this is a desparate act of a poorly educated woman...cannot imagine that hobbiests would continue to come to that sexy thought!

Trust me, when you see the other side of it behind the scenes you don't stare. I will admit the first few times I went upstairs it was hard not to stare at the large circular dressing room. Ultimately, you become almost desensitized to all those naked girls.  

The patrons (girls called them ATM's)  never seemed to get tired of it. The various stages/rooms are downstairs. We were upstairs often playing blackjack, drinking and snorting cocaine.

A real career is 60 hours a week, To provide full time they have to be available weekdays 9 AM to 7PM to service the tricks. They have to screen, schedule, fix themselves up, rent hotels etc. Then there are the touring girls. They usually take off one week a month.

Some of the women who have jobs that require travel will throw up an ad and see a client or two when she is on company business trips.  Just saw a women in my home city recently and that was exactly what she was doing.

It was because I was making great money but working long hours that I tried it as a young guy. I only did it between girlfriends in those days. I don't know of too many careers in finance, medicine ,law or small business that are short hours.  

Every girl has told me her busiest times are weekdays when married men can get away from the office. I will concede that it's possible to do part time providing while having a career.

Of course there are professions that require strong commitment in certain time brackets, but there are literally scores of small business catagories that don't.  And law?, Yeah, probably not a lawyer (professional responsibility and all that) but one woman here is a very successful independent paralegal.  She started a firm and now has three people working for her.  She does not work set hours and does some of her best work with research and doc prep in the middle of the night cause she's somewhat of an insomniac. She's also a busy, highly reviewed, escort. I'm currently seeing a woman in her 30s who is a competitive athlete in a very challenging sport that consumes a lot of time in short bursts.  She has plenty of time to work her magic as an escort at other times.  

These are not the exceptions I'm talking about here.  I know some women who do internet based business that's not even tangentially related to P4P.  These type of businesses give them the flexibility to do both successfully.  There are more of these kind of women entering our little corner of the world every day. They are ripping up the stereotypes which you seem to rely on.

Your OP on this thread was overly vague and judgmental.  Probably would have been a correct assumption 10 plus years ago, but not today.  Maybe you actually learned something in this discussion.

Well, everybody is shaped by their own experiences. I just have not seen very many that had full time careers. Some left their jobs because of the kind of money they could make in escorting.  

Maybe things are changing because of the internet. I did know of a girl in my area that started her own paralegal business. but left escorting as soon as her business took off. I'll take your word for it on the girls you know. It sounds risky though. If the regular career takes off there is a chance they could lose it if ever busted or outed.

Example 1, she is a mortgage company underwriter.  
Example 2, she works at at healthcare company customers service call center.
Example 3, she is a student at a nursing school.
Example 4, she is a front desk receptionist at a law firm.
...

Those jobs often do not pay well enough for her standard, she can earn more, and likes meeting men ... nowadays, they can select who to meet who not to meet; often there are more reasons to do it than not.

With internet information widely available, it is not difficult for a normal female to cross the line

I travel 70% of my time for my career. While I absolutely love what I do it's an incredibly high stress job where I must forecast trends 2 years in advance, keep a vigilant analytical eye on the markets, analyze future cost vs prior, negotiate, attend trade fairs, schedule development, interact with a variety of people etc. Oddly, all details that a companion also must do.  

My job is lonely. Constantly on and off planes, sprinting between meetings, sleeping in, while beautiful, non the less still impersonal generic hotel rooms, eating meals alone. Again, quite similar to a companions.  

Having added companionship to my life and career has helped fill a void that otherwise, unless having tons of meaningless flings, was not being met as well as giving me the financial means to launch my own company on schedule.

Anyone who travels often, man or woman can tell you it's a lonely, tiring job being on the road all the time and skyping with my live in lover at home, while nice, doesn't measure up to actual human interaction.  

The similarities between both my careers is striking, and women who provide companionship should be applauded for their ability to do all that they must to run their business. Honestly, the amount of detail and multitasking required makes my corporate job look like a walk in the park

Since somebody said earlier that "BBFS4ever"  brought this subject up previously I looked into it and there are posts from a retired hooker in that thread that are interesting.

From "ChaChingChump"

"There may be some women with careers who dabble in the hobby for extra cash but men hobby predominantly during business hours so my guess is they're not in it for the $$$$. Maybe just the thrill. Once in a blue moon a former hooker may hook up with someone during the evening but the motivation diminishes. If she's career busy, that's her focus therefore yields little time for getting into her hooker persona mojo brain, screening, keeping an incall, booking a hotel and everything else required to stay safe. So having done both, I'm 99.999% sure there aren't any hookers front and center, who are juggling a demanding career posting on this board.  There's just no time for both. One's going to suffer because we all have to sleep. "

Aside of that - the same way that our corporate working clients find time to sneak away from the office for long lunches and "dentists appointments", ladies who have time intensive jobs are typically part time sex workers, who make the most of those windows that they can find.

50-60 hours a week as young guy and it paid off! Three Master's degrees? :)

Yes, why not keep studying?  
   
 For me life is for living, I don't want to be on my death bed regretting all the fun I didn't have.  
   
 A corporate position and working 60 hours a week is a rather limited view of success. Not everyone gets to be Nick Hanauer, I can affect change in my own way and be satisfied.
I only did that so that I would have a comfortable life in my 30's and beyond. I definitely did not get as rich as Nick Hanauer but I got what I wanted. I did not get married until I was well into my 30's because I wanted to be able to provide a proper lifestyle for my kids. Despite my no-sex-wife, my family life is more important than monetary gain at this point in my life.  

I think it takes a variety of interests to be successful but the catch 22 is that it takes a decent amount of money to reach your goals. I am not against education but I'm not the scholarly type. lol
