Should prostitutes go to business school?

Asked by elbanditoroso (33146points) February 27th, 2022

I’m assuming – perhaps wrongly – that they know how to carry out the service end of their profession.

Would it be sensible for women (and for that matter, men) in the profession to have basic accounting, business management, negotiating, and budgeting skills?

In a cash flow industry, business skills would seem to very useful.

Could this be offered at a community-college or vocational-school level?

I think that you’re wrongly assuming that they don’t have business skills. People write them off as stupid because of their profession when in fact they are excellent negotiators who can make as much in one day as many fortune 500 CEO’s and their money is tax free. Even thumper hasn’t figured out how to do that. Some are smart enough to pay their taxes every year so they can’t be prosecuted for failure to pay taxes

Of course. So should waiters and waitresses and Walmart employees. And McDonald employees.

It would be make more sense if it was legal though.

Yes. so they can know how much to charge for her finishing move, or “the works” . Also they won’t need to give 50% to a pimp. One can take one vocational part-time class at a time in my business school.

Why not? It’s the world’s oldest profession after all.

Is there any reason they shouldn’t?

If they want to? IMO the most important skill is investing. Because of how money compounds over time, getting an early start means a sex worker could be extremely wealthy if he/she invested the lion’s share of their earnings as young adults.

Many stock brokers say they work on The Street, so they already have that advantage.
However, it is my impression they are doing that job to address current needs, and don’t have room to long term invest.

Where else would on learn how to screw one over than wall street experts?

But it was would have to be legal in order to.keep books.

I am a little surprised it isn’t legal, after marijuana becoming legal.

Go to you tube and dial up Pimp Chat! We can discuss the instructional video afterwards

You mean just like all other people that have different/other jobs.
Like firemen, bakers, factory workers, civil servants, IT specialists, etc.?
Just like ‘us’?

I don’t know about independent business women, but their pimps should.
