"Can you really make a living doing that," I asked her.
"I made 200,000 last year."
I was on my way to Houston. I was hoping someone interesting will sit by me. Lately I enjoy talking to strangers. A girl signaled that the seat next to me was hers. She had a strange charm. As soon as she sat down she called someone and asked if he received the tax form she faxed. Then she pulled out a book from her purse and start to read. It was Suze Orman's Women and Money. When she put the book away after a while I turned to her and said, "you must be in financial business."
She smiled and said, "I am stripper."
"Where do you work?"
"Mostly Vegas and sometimes LA. I have a house in LA."
"Can you really make a living doing that," I asked her.
"I made 200,000 last year. I kept it all in the bank and my accountant got mad at me. So, I am reading investment books."
When asked if she was not scared doing what she does, she said that clubs keep it very safe. The only time she was scared in her life was when her husband left her and until that time she was a housewife.
She kept talking. Her family knows what she is doing. She told me where she worked, but I didn't get it and didn't ask her to repeat. She is on her way to Houston to buy some rental property that her sister will manage. She feels sorry for a lot of girls who work in the business who get addicted to drugs and throw away all their money. She thinks she only has a few more years left and wants to make good investments. She plans to move to LA to go to school and open a drug rehab center.
I told a little bit about me when she asked.
When we collected our suitcases, we hugged. I said 'be safe' and she told me to keep up the good work.
People are people no matter where life takes them.
Just for my memory, her name was Shannon.
