I (and my personal finance professor) agree with your advice for all of us, but it's unfortunate more people aren't exposed to it and that it can be quite difficult to follow when juggling loan and credit card payments from college.

But that would expose students to the high cost of an education that does not always translate into adequate income compensation, often for years. The best advice is to pursue your after college career while living low. Which is harder than you might think. That first paycheck is your first taste of financial freedom and you are more than likely to spend it - after years of living on tuna and beer - than save it. If you save only 5% of what you earn when you graduate, you will be far better off than someone who saves nothing. From then on, save a quarter to a half of every subsequent pay increase you receive and you should be fine.

My post wasn't meant to judge the women who work in these areas, but rather the situation in general, in that college is so expensive that these jobs are the best option for many people. Out of curiosity, would you and your friends work as dancers or escorts if you didn't need money to pay for college? Thanks for your comment.
