[quote=jficquette][quote=dbapig][quote=Eugene][quote=scaredycat]Drug dealers on the whole don’t make much money. Read FREAKONOMICS on that important subject (the chapter entitled “Why do most drug dealers live with their mothers?”)

However, strippers do very very well.

Clearly we need to redistribute some of the strippers’, engineers’ or teachers’ money to the relatively impoverished drug dealers.[/quote]

Interestingly, call girls also do very well. Even a mid-range Las Vegas call girl can out-earn any one of you engineer guys.[/quote]

But can she work until the retirement age of 65?[/quote]

Retires at 28 in that business[/quote]

But any call girl 40 and under will be able to get back to work at 70, because in 30 years advances in medicine will make them all look like 18-year-olds. And being a call girl is like riding a bicycle. Whereas all our C++ and Java and Intel assembly skills will be long obsolete.

[quote]strippers were complaining about only make 150 a night as opposed to the 450 and up they were making[/quote]

Call girls make more money than strippers. There’s a lot of variation, but the median is still around 500/customer, I think.
