You work very odd hours.

You are paid a lot of money to keep your client happy.

You are paid well but your pimp gets most of the money.

You spend a majority of your time in a hotel room.

You charge by the hour but your time can be extended for the right price.

Creating fantasies for your clients is rewarded.

It's difficult to have a family.

If a client beats you up, the pimp just sends you to another client.

People ask you what you do and you can't explain it.

Your family hardly recognizes you at reunions (at least the reunions you attend).

Your client pays for your hotel room plus your hourly rate.

Your client always wants to know how much you charge and what they get for the money.

Your pimp drives nice cars like Mercedes or BMWs.

Your pimp encourages drinking and you become addicted to drugs to ease the pain of it all.

You know the pimp is charging more than you are worth but if the client is foolish enough to pay it's not your problem.

When you leave to go see a client, you look great, but return looking like hell (compare your appearance on Monday A.M. to Friday P.M.).

You are rated on your performance in an excruciating ordeal.

Even though you get paid the big bucks, it's the client who walks away smiling.

The client always thinks your cut of your billing rate is higher than it actually is, and in turn, expects miracles from you.

When you deduct your take from your billing rate, you constantly wonder if you could get a better deal with another pimp.

Everyday you wake up and tell yourself you're not going to be doing this stuff for the rest of your life.
