I came a across an interesting query from a stripper grad student financing her education, but worrying about the fallout, in Cary Tennis’ Salon column.

I am a graduate student in a college town. When I was in college here, I worked as a full-nude dancer in a neighboring town (also a college town) in order to support myself and to work a few hours at a more compassionate, poorly paid job in the meantime. On a couple of occasions, people I knew showed up at the strip club, including a former instructor, and I laughed it off, telling them that anyone who knows me had better buy a lot of lap dances from me to make up for my embarrassment.

I need to study for my Ph.D. exams this summer and I won’t get any funding. …

I haven’t been to a strip club for a while, but it always seemed that the strippers I’ve run across in my days have always been working hard to finance their higher education.
