It IS rough though. It's rough on your body, it's a tough work environment and it can be depressing. It's extremely competitive and catty. The things I've seen fist fights break out over range from playing the wrong song to talking to the wrong guy and anything and everything else. The class of the club doesn't always matter, the dirtiest clubs can easily rival the nicest in terms of prostitution activity. You may never consider prostitution-and that's fine- but if every other girl in the club is doing it, you're not going to make any money. You'll have to find another club.
Some clubs are very abusive with your 'pay'. 99% of strip clubs will consider you an 'independent contractor'. What that means to you is, you get ZERO benefits under the law. They can tell you WHEN, WHERE and HOW to work, don't have to provide you with anything work-related besides the facility, and how much you get from things like private dances, and you can be fired for ANY reason (weight, hair color, etc). The club will always get a cut of your private dances, how much that is depends on the club and some clubs will even withhold your money for days holding it over your head to essentially force you to keep working. You have no recourse if you're injured at work (and that happens a lot) no sick pay, no nothing like that.
You can review all of the policies before you agree to work so be smart and read the contract, talk to the girls who work there and get a feel for the place. Go in as a customer and feel things out.
You CAN do great and it's not all bad but it's not as simple as 'get up there and dance', there's a lot more to it. Just choose the club carefully and you should be OK.
thanks! I'm been doing hella research, but I've never actually been to a club. I'm going to start populating a few. I hear it's not all that easy. But hey, what is?
I want to be a stripper....

Go for it. There's nothing wrong with it.
