What do you do for a living?

Just updating my post to say I'm now a SECOND year law student so I guess it didn't kill me 😉

Camgirl. Which is basically a stay-at-home-stripper. I already had the pole in my house and a webcam; thanks to this site I have some moves and badabing, now I'm my own boss, make my own hours, and I always have an audience which helps to encourage me to pole everyday.

This is a great thread… I am a car sales manager… needless to say having an addiction to pole while working in a "man's world" has been a roller coaster of it's own especially with bruises you can't always hide… I have been a manager in fast food and retail for about 10 years now…. Would LOVE to own my own studio and share what pole really is to the world someday… until then I will share via social media and performances!

I'm an administrative assistant who is lucky enough to have a pole studio 10 minutes from my office. A handful of people from work know I pole dance, all women. But for the most part, it is my workout class. I stopped saying dance class since it's usually followed by "what type of dance." Outside of work, I'm pretty open about it.
I've met so many interesting people through pole dancing who work a spectrum of jobs, from medical and law professionals to teachers to directors/managers in the private sector to people working in the public sector to people who own their own business. I love how pole dancing brings all these walks of life together.

I'm a phlebotomist and lab client services rep in addition to filling in for our microbiology department as a lab aid. I've been wanting a career change for a while, been doing this for 9 years and am burnt out. Just don't know what to do!

Interesting forum,
It's so long, I did not read it entirely. But I have something to say. If you are a highly creative individual, this might apply.
I traveled to Venice a few years back and being a fine artist was so excited to go and meet fellow artisans. I dreamed about Venice, I met there a group of men in a small bar where they all hung out at night. My husband found it actually, I fell asleep early he wandered next door and the next morning took me to meet 3 of the fellow gents from the evening before,
A Glass blower, Boat restoration/builder, Frame maker, carver of gold leaf angels cupids and ornate objects placed in palaces and churches, … They were Venetian, and spoke the language, their families had been Venecians for many years.
In the evenings, these men all came to their favorite hang out and complained about the life that had been laid out for them generations ago. They had all been brought up by parents in the "trade" they were in and inherited the business. Complained about learning to glass blow by merely 5 years old with shelves of evidence, which I traveled to an island with him to see, his families history. Master Glass blower and gilt frame maker angel carver complained. Their shops were adorable, the tourists lined up, "they hated their jobs" They were so jealous of us Americans who could just "pick" a career, a new life and go for it, and make lots of money, be free! That was what they thought.
I so wanted to just be the guy in the little gold angel frame shop who worked on ancient frames some from before Christ was born! with built in clients and be surrounded with such history.
I learned a lot on that trip about careers, family, expectations. Finding the perfect happy career, and actually making the money you wish to make consistently, while having the freedom to be creative and just do what you would like to…. is very very rare.
Even Michael Angelo had to paint the church ceiling, I am sure he wished he was doing something else.
I guess the silver lining is do what you love, be it glass blowing, painting or teaching pole, be be aware that you may have to paint something you don't want to, or teach a type of pole class that bores you, or blow the same stupid glass for the mass of tourists waiting for it. Be happy you are in your "field", finding the perfect field and then getting total freedom to do what ever in that field, usually does not happen. Can…. but usually not. Be happy you can support a family while many never figue out how…
I was some how jealous of the fact they had a built in secure job waiting for them for which they had been groomed for, a shop they inherited with clients going back decades. The built in success of that was astonishing, what was surprising was how unhappy they were…. and in America the fear of starting a new business, is so daunting many do not even try, they stay in dead end jobs unhappy. But how unhappy are we all if we reallyl compared all the parts?
It can be scary to dream up a business and then learn to adapt quickly to your environment and clients, and you sometimes end up producing not at all what you dreamt about, but being close is way better than being very far away in an office cubicle when you really wish you could be in water and on sand, or on a pole, or in front of an easel.
That trip taught me much in the phyche of a business woman, the path is complex and you must be aware of it's truth, The truth is you get to do what you love, just may be a variation of it…. If you want security, if you want a stable income with a nice home husband, children, you might have to sacrifice some of it. But be thankful, you get to be in the field.
If you want something special you must be prepared to really sacrifice for it, maybe everyting.

I’m a virtual assistant providing administrative support and social media marketing to small businesses, entrepreneurs and busy professionals from a virtual (remote) location. Many of my clients happen to be ‘creative’ individuals-authors, fitness instructors etc. By night I teach pole fitness classes at a local gym. Love the diversity of careers on this thread!

This thread disproves any stereotypes about pole. Anyone and everyone can do this (and I feel they should 😉 )
