Most people in the first world are selling themselves 8 or 9 hours a day for their entire lives. Don’t kid yourself. You are. 1/3 goes to the government, 1/3 goes to the mortgage bankers, 1/6 goes for the car and if you have anything left over for food and maybe, if you’re lucky to see a doctor so they can keep you working.

I hope she got $10M from some overpaid bank CEO that isn’t qualified to scrub toilets anyway.

I’m sorry but I understand where she’s coming from. A girl said student loans aren’t that bad? Try having $200,000 in student loan deb and about to lose my mothers house and everything else. If I had the nerve, I would be doing that right now. But the difference between us is that I’m having faith that God has something planned and will make a way for us.

I heard of this & it makes me sick. Why couldn’t she get the money some other way? I mean she’s a young lady & she should have thought of a better way to get the money. It’s sick to sell one’s body like that. I hope she doesn’t get sick from it. I heard that she wants multiple partners which is gross. She needs prayers.

Turning to the sex industry to help alleviate student loan debt is becoming a new trend, I know first hand. I have two masters degrees and can not find a job anywhere. I look daily and have sent out hundreds of resumes over the past few months. Out of complete and utter desperation I’ve had to take a job being a stripper just to be able to cover the monthly payments of my student loans. What options do I have really? My lender denied a deferment request, a forbearance request, and a consolidation. I have no family to fall back on. Either I can default on them and ruin my credit or I can do what I have to do to make ends meet.

Being a woman with a large student loan debt and no family to help pay for it I can’t lie and say that the thought of selling my body in order to pay off these debts hasn’t entered my mind.

Growing up in a small town where people tend to stagnate in the cycle of dropping out of school, doing drugs, and starting families that they can not afford I wanted something more. Despite not being able to afford college, and not having a family who could help I still went and I graduated.

After graduating I struggled to make payments and eventually after missing payment after payment it grew to be too much. I ran from my debt because I didn’t know what to do and was unwilling to strip or sell my body to pay for school. I guess I was plagued with a thing called morals. So I just ran, I went as far as leaving the country to hide from debt that I could not pay off. I thought that if one day I just didn’t wake up I would be free of the debt that haunts me. At least I would have died with a college education, right?

Now three years later I am at a point where I am able to make regular monthly payments. Nothing large, but at least regular. I made contact with the debt collectors that I had run from for so long and was able to consolidate most of my debt. However I recieved a call last night from the company who did the consolidation who told me that I still have a $24k outstanding tuition bill that cannot be consolidated and the University was asking for payment to be made in full. If that were even an option I wouldn’t be in the position I am now.

Next to prostituting or writing to Oprah and hoping for the best there is no way for me to come up with that amount of money. I offered to work out a payment plan but was told because of such inconsistencies in the past 3 years, or overall lack of payment that it is no longer an option.

At this point I am not sure what I am going to do. It I were able to sell what God gave me in order to pay off this debt I would. I wouldn’t go as far as saying I admire this young lady who decided to prostitute in order to find a way to pay off her debts, perhaps jealous. Or maybe just frustrated with myself. Because if I were able to morally do the same I would.

All I can say is more power to her. If I had the body, heck I would be working at a strip club “selling sex” to make a ton of cash. it is just sex–really what is the big deal. The men that responded on this blog–how many women have you had sex with? Did you marry all of them? It is the same thing–this woman is just smart enough to get paid for what men have always done.

Desperate times require desperate measures. I don’t want to judge that girl (he who has not sinned cast the first stone) as she has probably been to hell and back. Poor thing. But it is very sad that she sees this as the only solution to her debt problem.

You have outlined some perfectly good solutions to her debt. Sure they will take a lot longer than one night but at least she will have dignity.

You are right – this sad story highlights the need to strive for a debt free life.
