Maybe 90% of the SB's I've met, even those who want immediate p4p hook ups, have some type of job. If we bother to talk about it, they enter the sugar bowl because that job barely pays for Maslow's first two 2 levels of needs (see link). What I find interesting is the breakdown of types of jobs they have.
This is purely empirical - just my top of mind recollection. In no particular order, they are:
- RN (or nursing student)
- Admin/Secretary (or Office Manager)
- Day care provider
- Retail clerk
- Model (aspiring at least)
- Veterinarian's assistant
- Other medical/dental assistant
- Stripper (full, or part time, might be paired with one of the others on the list)
- Student (plus one ore more of the others, either PT or FT)
- Webcam model (Surprising how many of these can be induced into the sugar bowl, even without using or knowing about SA or WYP. Although the optimal conditions are rare: local to me, not married, not paranoid about web stalkers, etc. I've actually connected with no less than 4 over the years.)
Almost all of these are at minimum wage or no more than 25% over minimum wage.
Almost all of these require no college degree. The obvious exception is RN, which should pay fairly well and requires extensive education. I also find it interesting that those who work in some medical field, especially RN's are quickest to offer BBBJ or even BBFS (usually only after testing).
Typical reasons anecdotally mentioned for asking for sugar (not that I actually care, but SB's always need to justify why they will fuck for cash):
- Child care, birthday presents, clothes, etc.
- Car repair
- Help with rent each month
- Want to be "spoiled" with clothes, makeup, jewelry, trips, concert tickets, etc.
Of all the SB's who state in their profiles and/or mention when we meet that they are also interested in an older guy to share life experience or mentor for career, only 1 has actually been interested in my help in these areas. One re-written resume and a job search yielding 10 good opportunities later and the result was: zero. She never applied for any of them.
