It's no news to those of us who have friends or family working in the industry that many "exotic dancers" are very well educated.
One in four women who works as a lap dancer in Britain has a university degree and the majority of those involved in the industry enjoy their work, earning up to 48,000 pounds a year, academic research has found.
48,000 UK pounds is about $74,400 USD and almost twice the UK's median income, by the way. The best in the business Stateside make even more than that. But that and a possible university education are not why your stripper is smarter than you. This is.
"These young women do not buy the line that they are being exploited, because they are the ones making the money out of a three-minute dance and a bit of a chat," said Dr Teela Sanders, one of the researchers, told the Independent newspaper.
If you wonder why your dancer is smiling, that's why.
