My Opinion
My personal salary is not enough for a healthy starbucks budget for coffee trips to keep me attentive while studying. There are all sorts of factors in my personal opinion like gender, age, race, body type and most important of all, who you work for if your a male I know personally. If a company or companies like you then you get all the work in the area and all of them will call you first plus if there is a club to perform in is extra consistent income. The salary as a exotic dancer is truly based on the individual and how crafty they are with people. The actual salaries vary widely and some people may owe money as well.
