Many girls start stripping when they are 18 and just starting college and need to pay there way through school. "Seriously, strippers make a ton of bank. In straight cash. I think it is a fair assumption they make well beyond minimum wage, and I would not be surprised if a hot stripper makes close to $1,000 a week".(Gloom) If these young woman are not paying their way through college, they may have a family they need to take care of. Family, is not only a child many, have parents that are sick and can no longer support themselves. In the horrible economic times people are doing what ever it takes to support their families.

The CBS site I used is a credible source because it is a well know station and web site. The other one is not very credible source because it was someones blog and their personal opinion. It is not bad to get someone else opinion because what they say is not always wrong.
