Don t know if the mods will allow this but I am curious, how well educated are you?

I did poorly at school although I wasn't t that interested in learning, constantly in trouble and in detention although mostly for minor things. I was good in sport but kicked off the gymnastics team and tennis team for skipping school. Left with very average results, although did OKish in physics and computing.

My spelling is really poor but I am better at maths then my sis who has a business  degree.

So are we all drop outs or are there ladies here with PhDs in rocket science

I dropped out of school long before my exams because I was so bored, I felt it was holding my intellegence back. I then went on to gain quite a lot of qualifications at college/uni a few years later.

So I am both a dropout AND educated.

RELATION TO SEX WORK: I do sex work because I can, through choice, not because I have limited options. It's not the only thing I do, and it's often not my biggest earner.

I have a "first" from a university on par with Harvard or Oxford. It's in a useless subject, though. I did it whilst whoring because I thought it would be fun to go to uni. I grew up chavvy and wanted to be more educated and cultured. It's for my own satisfaction and has never affected my income/work.

Done my gcses done ok but could have done better, got a job dancing at 18, always thought about going back to study but was scared so carried on with the sex industry.

Finished high school with very good results, never had any interest in pursuing university degree of any kind.

I think experience can outweigh qualifications. Look at what every one of us goes through in this job, we make mistakes, we learn and educate ourselves. We manage our own time, finances and lives. We are able to work with a dimension of people we might not necessarily get to in civvy life. I sometimes come on here and feel as if it's a lot of negative posts (fine, where deserved) but, done well, you've acquired so many transferable skills you can take elsewhere.

Can't put it in a cv though x

Can't put it in a cv though x

Why can't I? I can see why some people would choose not to, but that doesn't mean you can't. I'd rather have ten+ plus years of running a successful business by myself on mine then a lengthy list of ricochets from one crappy minimum wage job to the next, which is what any CV of mine would have on it otherwise .

I've put it on my CV which I've used to take on voluntary work in a 'profession' role ie position of responsibility and trust. In fact I've just been asked to become a trustee of a charitable organisation on the back of it.
 
I have been through several interviews with 'the job' and I'll agree it's tough and not without judgement. I have been turned down because of my sex work which was more to do with the prejudice of one person, others in the same organisation were fine with it. So yes it can be hard, but I've also come across organisations who don't even vatan eeyelid they are more interested in my skills, can I do the job.
