Neither, they're unliscensed sex therapists,  social workers, and psychoanalysts.

Providing to me is not an alternative to a traditional career, but moreso part of the path to where I want to be, career-wise. I can only speak for myself, but I have held many jobs and done well. However, my options for employment were very limiting. As a student, I can spend hours and hours doing high-stress, repetitive tasks and still not be able to afford my rent earning seven bucks an hour. I started working when I was 15, and have always held people-oriented jobs such as food service and retail. While I enjoyed certain aspects of my work, such as interacting some of the coworkers and customers, it was not overly rewarding, and I had to put up with a lot of sh1t for such a paltry sum. I like to live each day as though it is meaningful and significant (which it is!), and I don't follow the logic that I have to do things that I don't find worthwhile just because they have to be done. I mean, yes, I have to have a job and pay my bills.. but I certainly don't have to spend hours each day performing tasks that are useless in the grand scheme of things. I need to feel like I am making a difference in peoples' lives in some significant way, as well as doing something that is enjoyable, rewarding, and results in personal growth. Pouring coffee and serving plates of food, or ringing up sales on a cash register, did nothing for me in terms of contributing to society or enhancing my personal growth, and hardly paid the bills. While I am studying for a real, meaningful career in psychology working with kids and families, and consider my eduction my main "job" right now, I have to do something to pay my college tuition and support myself. Providing is the one job I have discovered that I truly enjoy, the one option available to me right now that I feel is actually teaching me something about the world and myself, and impacting others in a positive way. And it is the one profession that has enabled me to get out of debt and start planning and saving for my future, rather than feeling stuck and limited by my place in society. In addition, I have always been the kind of person who needs Adventure, and the kind of woman who decides things for myself rather than being told how to think. The fact that I am doing this because I believe in it, rather than listening to the ignorance of the penal system and the moral judgments of society, is empowering. Not saying that I like breaking the law, and I am very aware of both the risks and benefits of what I do, but I feel that the choices I make have real power behind them, in part because they are controversial. I see my job now as a provider, and my future career in family therapy, as complements to one another, and both components of the same journey. This work is financially and intellectually preparing my for both my future career, and sexually and socially enhancing my life skills and experience. I feel the skills I have as a provider will make me more successful in my life, personally and professionally. While it is part of my path to another career, I don't necessarily see it as means to an end. I can see myself continuing to do this, at least part time or on occasion, throughout my life span. On the other hand, I have always said that the moment I start to feel that I am not enjoying or benefiting from this, I will stop. It is not worth it to invest my time or energy into something that I have to force myself to do, whether that something is pouring coffee for seven bucks an hour, or providing companionship and sexual pleasure for 300. While we all have the need to support ourselves financially, it is not worth it to continue do

And one other thing.. I think that being a provider is a perfectly legitimate career choice in and of itself. As stated above, it is comparable to an unlicensed sex therapist, counselor, and/or teacher, and has a huge impact on people. While I personally am also studying for a "traditional" career path, there are many perfectly intelligent, employable women with good educations whose sole career choice is providing, because they enjoy it and are good at it. I think that is a perfectly valid choice.

marea, madison is very luckey to have a jewel like you, you are wise beyond your years.......

You make excellent points. Professionally, I am a courtesan first, model second, fashion designer third. I rank the importance of my "jobs" by how much they provide me with the ability to pursue what I value most in life. My main interests are hanging out with my family, travel, sports and cars. I work hard and pour myself into each of my professions, so I never feel guilty about enjoying my passions wholeheartedly.

I'm sorry that some men here feel that we are somehow useless and don't deserve their respect. Unfortunately, I've noticed over the years that strongly misogynistic men also have severe addictions to adult entertainment in many cases. I believe that demeaning us gives them a channel for their feelings of worthlessness and shame.

Like stripping, porn, being an escort pays well. And like any other job some are good at what they do some are not. Sex sells always have always will and if you are young and attractive you have an opportunity to work as a sex worker. It is a choice for some a necessity for others to work in the sex business. In american society we still have a lot of hangups about sexual expression, so in this line work a person can be seen as having something wrong with them. In reality sex workers are no different than anyone else.

You are obviously the total package.  Hope you visit Boston someday.

after reading them, I find it very hard to believe you are only 20 years old.  You are a lady with a very level head on your shoulders, and I congratulate you on your approach to this wonderful hobby/profession you have chosen to participate in.

The only downside of this is that you are in the frozen tundra of Wisconsin and I am in the gorgeous sunshine state of Florida, with little hope of ever making your acquaintance.  Unless of course, you decide to do a spring break tour to Tampa, in which case I would be the first in line to secure a date with you.

Stay sweet, and really think about coming to Tampa some day.

in the DC area.  
As to original post/question. I don't review much, so you won't find much under my name; however, I have met some very well educated, intelligent, and beautiful women through this hobby.  I am sure that many of them would be successful at whatever they wanted to do.  If that is as a provider, then more power to them and God Bless (otherwise we would be up the proverbial creek).  I don't think the question should even be here, unless it were directed at the "street walkers" of the world.  Yes there are a few out there that could at least use a lesson or two on the use of English.  But, none of us are perfect (this sentence for example).  
Bottom line:  Ladies, thank you and keep up the GREAT WORK!

Once again you show a maturity well beyond your years.  When are you going to come to Florida for a long weekend so we can meet?  Swim's idea of spring break works for me as well.  I'm sure there would be a line to see you.  Just be sure to save me multiple hours.

IMO, it really involves  basic certain sexual /sensual  skill(s)AND ultimately, the quest for some aide regarding  financial security and gain.


OTOH,the 'angelic' (extraordinary) prostitutes are those that are UTR/lowest profile and are, most specifically revered because these ae they that are most sought after ...ever elusive and mysteriously unique.

Peace,
Lance

after me, KK.  lol

Marea's head hasn't swelled a bit with all the well-deserved adulation she receives here.

She does, however, make my head swell on quite a regular basis

I can see that exlurker 100 plus postings on the Florida board inviting Florida ladies up north has been a good teaching tool.  Now the Florida guys are asking ladies to fill the void.

Although not a Florida resident I can tell you that Tampa is a nice place to visit!  Although I am sure you could warm them up if they decided to visit the frozen tundra.

They are both. I have met both kinds.

I'm going to send her an e-mail and suggest spring break "08.
