Why do escort get a day job when they earn so much?

[Helloyou75001]

I'm posting here because my comment on another profile was polluting another review.

Ah I am just wondering why someone making so much money would go to a 9-5 Day job. If I had a job making £130/h I wouldn't be bothered by doing a day time job probably earning 10 time less.

Imagine you are a trader earning  £15,000/month, would you be bothered to do in parallel an office job making £1,500/month?

I wouldn't

Thought this was answered in the ER/Shins thread..... Sanity, CV, variety... etc. etc.   The CV reason was a very good and valid point.

[EnglishRebecca121]

Simple having a day Job looks good on my cv when I retire from escorting .its also been easier to get a good morgage with 2 incomes instead of just one self employed one .

Also I enjoy having 2 different life's And my day Job is social and keeps me sane !

You have to find away to explain your spending & income. If you are flash with cash and not working ppl will ask questions.

Example; A guy makes ???? from selling weed but he works as a taxi driver/ odd job man so he can tell ppl/family his lifestyle is from bonuses & bank loans, cash in hand jobs, gambling etc..

Example 2; Student works as an escort to get thru Uni. If she is flush with cash ppl will ask. But if she mixes it with her partime job at with bonuses etc then ppl wont ask.

Even with an accountant wads of cash will have to be answered for, or quietly filtered back into bank accounts legit.

Would you still say the same if you only worked one or two hours a day one or two days a week.   

The only two things punters know for sure is what the advertised rates are and how much they personally spend on punting, anything else is pure speculation.

A few have said it gives them a cover story to use with family and future employers

Exactly...some don't earn enough doing this.
I have a full-time job and it's great to be able to tell someone that if they ask what I do.
Also, being mainly outcalls, I need the full-time job too.

  Got to help to keep the tax man happy / off your back  ? And gives the SP a cover story .

It's not illegal, you can just declare it as self-employed income.

What kind of day job allows to have your face on AW?
If you've got any kind of co-worker you'd be found quickly.
Just curious

Speaking for myself, I work in a field where sex workers have been outed, and the higher ups don't give a hoot. It's rather an open secret at my job that I have a escorting as a side gig, I even chat with some of my colleagues about it.

It's apparently not that uncommon for people associated with my field to have done sex work at some point, although these days it's more likely to be camming than stripping or escorting.

What field and type of job is it? Maybe it would help me find more service provider I wouldn't expect

Broadly speaking, scientific research, outside of pharma we're not paid that well. Admittedly most of it happens undergrad to PhD, not normally post studies, but higher rates in London with the cost of living only going up and wages not coming close to matching.

Also a lot of ex military... although that does seem to be mostly men from the anecdotal stories I've been told.

[mrhappypants]

Although it did not even occur to me at the time (naive) I have long suspected that a girl I dated briefly had worked previously and successfully as an escort.  I met her when we were both studying and the telling signs were that she seemed to have plenty of money without an obvious source of income.  The details of her CV were “vague.”  Before our relationship together, and while we were students, she got a job behind the bar in a night club and seemed to make a lot of money doing it. 

I don’t gamble but a friend who worked in casinos told me that it was widely understood that the bar girls in casinos were prepared to dress a certain way and work for very low wages because everyone knew it was just a first job and that the second paid rather better...Beyond a certain point of attractiveness, a world of employment opportunities open up denied the rest of us.

[Marmalade]

This is not a punting question. If you want to chat to prossies go to UKE.

This is such a good point: the unearned iniquity of beauty* and the curse of plain looks.

1) Admin’s attitude has seemed more relaxed lately.  He did not move the thread London Punters’ Good Pub Guide although it clearly is not a punting thread.

2) I think it is arguable that this is a punting question, as my answer above suggests and English Rebecca’s post may also indicate. 

[Simmo87]

I dont know and dont care either, if and escort wants work in McDonalds or work at CERN as a theoretical physicist as an other employment its there business and not mine.

[figleaf]

Sometimes of course the extra job is for the cash.  Just because they charge £150 an hour it doesn’t mean they are busy all the time.  Quite a few girls have complained business is slow recently

Admin’s attitude or just that nobody with the ability to do so moved it?

Wow That's interesting!

So if I go to some university and look for PhD student or graduate, there would be chance I find a prossie? 

I've meet few researcher from UCL, they all got decent wage in the £30k+ per year. I need to find the uni that pay shit then

[mrhappypants]

Well I reported it and he didn’t move it so you figure it out.

Many good points here: cover story, mortgage, CV, family, other company rather than working solo, planning for the future after escorting. Many girls are part time and work around their normal working life or as a mum/wife so a couple of bookings a week will make a big difference to their life style.
As punters we have no idea how many bookings any girl gets, so we have no idea what their income is.  Years ago there were fewer working girls and I certainly knew some who did well out of it and bought property, home abroad and had nice cars but I suspect that is likely now.
Girls with good reputations will have a regular core of friends and those that tour and have good references will do well but overall there is much more choice even on AW, even forgetting SA where many of us now play.

[Marmalade]

All this stuff about why escorts do stuff. WHO THE FUCK CARES FFS??

There’s little point generally trying to figure out why WOMEN do the stuff they do (see the shopping thread). There’s no point in trying to understand women. It’s too complicated. And by the time you do she will have moved the goalposts. 

Time is better spent on how to get the result you want.

A well known WG round my way had a "cover story" of being a financial advisor, to the extent that after you'd had your pleasure with her, she'd hand you a clear plastic folder with a couple of bits of paper in it - presumably in case neighbours saw several men entering/leaving throughout the day.
As for why they do it - who knows? I doubt it's for the benefit of HMRC, so long as they get their "cut" they don't care how income is earned! I guess that after "expenses" such as rent/mortgage payments are taken out of the hourly rate - especially if they're using a different address to the one they live at - they aren't quite as well paid as we all think.

i fully expected you to say after the pleasure she'd advise you to 'invest' more money with her

Loads on SA. 186 at the Uni local to me (and i've met 2 or 3 for fun and games). But some of them do have inflated views of their financial worth

Considering I put at an average of £60 for 30min... would SA makes financial sense to me? It seems most of them want load of  £££

It varies by area, and by student to student tbh.
One did PPM for £150 the hour. Another wanted £650 (i think, if i remember right) for 1.5/2hrs (total stunner though, a body as good as it gets)

It's way cheaper for me to just keep doing my £60 punt on adultwork then. Plus I have variety and not having to pay for SA membership

Probably, yeah..
But the 18/19/20 yr old student...slim & fit is just my type

You also have them on adultwork!

1.True a steady income as opposed to not knowing what they are going to earn from one week to the next.
2.Health reasons
3.Reducing the risk of punting with a complete psycho

I believe I have seen the same financial advisor and when I got home the pages were fucking blank!! I think I paid her 130 pounds too 

I did wonder how her licking my arse was going to get me a mortgage. I think she saw me cumming

1.True a steady income as opposed to not knowing what they are going to earn from one week to the next.

Also useful to have a record of NI contributions for sickness, benefits etc, when needed as well as, ultimately, as state pension. Don't know how many would be organised enough to think that far ahead though.

If I was a hooker, I would do it part time, get all your clients on your days off, very few girls make any real money as hookers, and soon hang up their knickers for that reason, punters who punt once a month or less, think the girls are coining it, they aren't, there just aren't enough customers, you can sit in your flat and have one 30 minute booking, if it was that lucrative, everyone would be at it.
