    1. pfunky - Once upon a time when I lived in Tampa, the dancers did make that.

      Now,very very very few make that. I bet these days 90% make $300 or less in cash after tipping out house mom, DJ, bartenders, valet etc... certainly a few have "regulars" that tip for special services. But those days are long gone where a hottie from the country could save a few million in 10 years just by doing lap dances. Certainly, there are exclusive escort services that provide that to celebs, arabs, politicians etc... but for the most part its gone poof.

  4. Ax a Micky D's employee how much your average doctor earns and I guarantee you they say over a million dollars a year.

  5. but keep in mink that doctors also much pay out big time for malpractice insurance .... also they invested a lot of money and time in their education. As for lawyers -- bull shit more are starving or close to starving than making over 50K today...

  6. You forgot professional the overpaid professional athletes that make anywhere from $5-$90 million a year. Sports illustrated just did an article on the top 50 paid athletes and it makes me sick when I think about someone who makes barely enough to get by, having to watch overpaid babies who make so much to play their games. Shame on us for being so rabid when it comes to sports.

  7. No one has to watch or pay for a cable subscription. Instead of watching sports go out in the garage and make something you can use or sell.

    Pure envy.
