Skills to pay the bills!
Can you imagine going in to heart bypass surgery, looking up at the surgeon as the anesthesia is starting to take affect, and thinking (but not being able to talk), "OMG, I had my way with that woman and now she's going to be operating on my heart!"
Welcome to GOP Nirvana!
No Child Left A Dime.
UDunnoBro, I have seen your postings many times and they are always funny. Keep posting! Love your sarcasm.
And here I thought their motto was Leave No Child`s Behind?
Have you not looked at Ultimate Fight? One of the fighters, who is heterosexual, did gay porn (insertive and receptive) to pay the tuition. We're living in a world where having a degree also means HIV.
Imagine in the future: questions like "Did you use protection while earning your way through college?" will be commonplace.
Horrible. My most expensive loans are 7.9% so I think I understand the desperation. Revenge on the Nerds?
I never thought that the British could be so "naughty". Also i thought that Britain provided free education via higher taxes.
I can't believe they can't find some rich sugar-daddy to put them through college. A lot of well-educated men would love someone to have an intelligent conversation with after the act.
(OK, ladies, proceed to beat me about the head and shoulders with a baseball bat for that last comment.)
HS321 - I'm a woman and not mad at you. I can understand the need from a man's prospective.
hs321, consider yourself beaten ; ). LOL, I had a rough day and really needed that comment.
hs321
hmmm isn't sugar-daddy a euphemism for the same thing?
Why does everyone presume it is just women providing services?

Coming soon to a "smaller government" country near you! (very near)
Britain is a hellhole and a police state. It also has a tremendous amount of violence and violent crime. London has higher crime rates than many third world cities. The country is a dump ruled by a few high level financiers, defence contractors and a nasty royal family (that pretends to have no power). They have cameras and speakers on every corner, surveillance on every "subject", and they have cut most of the social benefits that the British "subjects" have supposedly paid for via sky high taxes. Britain should be conquered and run by the US (that's how bad it is- even the US is better). Think about it: when was the last time you heard of anyone wanting to move there? Or start a business there? The only thing they are good for is using their idiot bankers to hide money for the world's corrupt (ahem...London banking anyone?)

Sounds like a corporate/conservative/GOP paradise.
Doesn't surprise me. Wouldn't surprise me to see more American students doing the same thing. At $30K plus/term for just classes and student loans over 10% if you add the "fees" students can't afford to survive. Working your way through med school is much more difficult than working your way through an MBA and during some terms it's impossible to work.
It worked for Oprah!
Prostitution should be LEGAL.
If a boxer can beat the crap out of each other for cash........
Women should have control over their own bodies!
I mean if they can have an ABORTION legally,
they should be able to sell their services just like they do when they clean houses or do massages or work at the hospital.
Most liberal women are against prostitution........WHY? Because they want to control men........prostitution would eliminate the monopoly women have over men. It also would provide a cheaper option.
I agreee. Prostitution should be leagal, it's up to you what you want to do with your body. Porno is legal. Is it only okay to get paid for sex if someone films it and sells copies?
"Prostitution would eliminate the monopoly women have over men." What are you even talking about? Makes me laugh, to tell you the truth. Both women and men in the U.S. are (and should be) free to live their lives as they see fit. Nobody has a monopoly over anyone.
WHY? Because they want to control men........prostitution would eliminate the monopoly women have over men
Real men don't let what's in a woman's pants control them,and they can usually get it for free too. ;)
Prostitution preys on women in desperation. Most people refrain from prostitution not because it is illegal, but because is playing Russian roulette with your life- health wise and mentally. Desperate women are more likely to play this game - illegal or not.
Surley most of us are not ok with men being allowd to take advantage of poor desperate women in this fashion.
Prostitution is legal in most European countries, and they have a much lower incidence of STD's, drug use, and crime. Where as, when you treat it as a crime, all these other issues come up. Quit being a prude. Sex is fun, and if you can make money at it, who the heck has a right to tell you no.
Stupid laws, like prohabition . Yeah, that worked well.
Regulate it, require regular doctor visits, and tax it like any other service.
I was with you until you got to the "liberal women want to control men" part.
I guess you must be projecting. What it sounds like you're saying is that if women don't want *you* controlling *them*, obviously it must be because *they're* trying to control *you*.
Which is utter poppycock. So to speak.
@Retired US Soldier - "sex is fun" -
um ok maybe with someone you care about or even for some with people they don't care about but often prostitues are abused. Think about who has to pay for sex and you can probably realize it would not be fun.
as for the original poster with his "monopoly over men" comment all I can say is wow....sad way to look at the world
And what, pray tell me, is the benefit of having sex with someone who wouldn't touch you but for your money? Sounds like a good idea for automatons, but not for real men.
Um . . . it feels good? Oh right, we're all supposed to loathe and fear anything that makes us feel good. Our bodies and our desires are evil and we should all live in shame.
YEP! In this country they learn the profession early and continue for life! Just attend your local courthouse and see how the medical profession sells itself for money! I have a great idea! Employ the medical profession as laboratory animals, cause there is alot of things animals won't do! GREAT ARTICLE!!!!!!!!
I think you are mixing up lawyers and doctors. Maybe you don't know it all.
The biggest whores in the country are Lawyers. They will screw anything for money.
Let's not forget politicians.
Granted, most of them *are* lawyers...but still.
This doesn't bode well for average to below-average looking guys.
A high paying vocational job? imagine that.
Maybe going secular in a society ISN'T the best thing.... Talk about a culture of skanks!!.....
"in which 10 percent reported knowing a student who had worked as a prostitute or escort in 2010."
These figures are rather skewed. What if it was the same prostitute student these 10 percent knew? That wouldn't necessarily mean any increase from a 6 percent of prostitutes... just an increase of people who knew prostitutes..
good point!
I've known young women who went into stripping to pay for school here in the US. It's really not that uncommon, unfortunately.
My thought exactly. The increase in social networking could be the reason for the perceived increase.
Moving to England!
More power to them.Like they say, ya do what ya gotta do.
Prostitution is illegal in all states expect Nevada, which allows licensed brothels.
Proofreaders are your friends. Don't be afraid of them...
Hey, Khall... Just what should we expect Nevada to do?
Don't be a grammer nazi prick....
Well at least the skill sets overlap. After the become doctors they whore for the pharmaceutical companies.
Here, in the USA, we have Fox female commentators chosen for their looks and ability to screw the whole nation at once.
So you're saying the best looking women commentators are on Fox? Awesome! I plan to put your theory to test.
Join the Armed Forces, they will pay off your Medical School debts, and you can hold your head up high.
If they will accept you. Feels like not long ago, I graduated college, and already I am too old.
Awesome. Screw a doctor, before they screw you.
This may be why so many new young doctors are women: They are the only ones who can afford to pay. Just a little twist from the well known adventure of screwing the professor for a good grade. Bottom line is: It (prostitution) doesn’t make for good doctoring.
While it doesn't solve the problems of education that is unaffordable or a lack of job opportunities, maybe if you're to the point that you are selling your body to pay for school, you should find something else to do with your life.
The important question is: If they're lousy in bed can you sue for malpractice?
Well I'm sure that everyone on here assumes that once a med student gets out of school they will instantly become 'rich' (as all doctors certainly are) and will be able to pay back those student loans. Oh wait...I forgot...they also have to pay mortgage on their home or rent on an apartment, gas, a car payment, malpractice insurance (which is 10 to 100K dollars a year depending on their specialty), medical supplies, employee salaries, office supplies, medical equipment, utilities, food and clothes for a family, etc. Well, so much for being a rich doctor. My first year as a physician I made 18K. My wife was a nurse. She made 20K. Anyone who thinks doctors don't deserve what they get paid should sign up for medical school or STFU.
Wow, thats the lowest paid nurse I ever heard of! My ex-mother in-law was also a nurse in a small town and was knocking on six figures, wait you said she was a nurse meaning decades ago? With the exception of malpractice evrything you mention is carried by every other self employed or small business owner. You made choices, we all do, so STFU!
Not to mention the ongoing downward pressure on Medicare reimbursement rates that further reduce doctors' incomes.
Having dated a few i say yes they do but they always have sold their selves to get thru school for law and doctoring.
Nobody cared till someone reports on it. Pimp your faculty today.
Absolutely PRO-hooker.
Might just forget about med school if you manage that THANG properly;)
