I want to leave the industry but I feel so lost and alone, I don't know what to do about my source of income so I feel stuck in a rut until I find a way out.
Anyone else feel like quitting but with no escape route?

Same

hi everyone thanks for the responses.

an exit plan is an option I can abroad and work with a trusted friend and earn £20k in 1 month. But then what from there? I turned to escorting because I never believed in myself in any other aspects of my life and beat myself up over everything, if I'm going to get out of escorting then I need to earn more than 25k a year else whats the point quitting?
I don't really have any experience in the civvy world
I don't want a dead end job, maybe somewhere where I can start at the bottom and work up. I wanted to go to university but I just feel like I've left it too long and I'll be in my late 20s before I establish myself at all (and how the hell can I fund uni without sex work?)
webcamming is an option as it's not as intense, more flexible and there is still opportunity to make money

Are you able to screen your clients and maybe end up with the nice ones?
When I first started a large majority of guys were just vile. Now the majority are lovely

If you really want to quit - then do. It is not that easy.

Civvie street is not well paid unless you are in a high end job.

You are young,  and my advice is get a good qualification, work part time and see how you feel in 12 months time.
When you get older you will know what you really really want/need.
Maybe, try to reduce your outgoings, though it can be hard in this climate.
Good luck

thank you so much for this,
I screen my own clients and I have been doing this for almost 2 years, so I know an arsehole from a gentleman   

I have decided that I will go back to university, just with the career I want to study I feel like I will be there forever, but if I don't do it now I guess it will only get harder for me ;(
and I can tell I'm not enjoying the work anymore as I'm not treating myself! I'm just sitting indoors not doing anything

That sounds ideal! my problem is that I have no a levels so I'd have to go do an access course first and yes I want to invest in property its always a good idea

You don't always need A Levels to go to uni. Not sure where you are but Birkbeck in London does part time degrees with no entry requirements and there's always the Open University.

Yes OU is very well regarded by employers, and is a highly regarded institution generally academically. Only trouble with it is that because of its flexibility it can be easy to put off taking up the next module and taking a long time to finish your degree. You say you're in your twenties but even at 21+ particularly some of the former polytechnics aren't so attached to A levels or even access courses to have people join their degree course.

But remember these days a lot a lot a lot of people are graduates and therefore these days many graduates end up in the same low paid 'whatever' jobs as non graduates, unless they have a competitive edge; studied something very practical with clear routes into industry (engineering, say) went to a very good university and got very good grades and/or have parents/family to throw a bit of nepotism their way.

I'm just cautioning because university education isn't the golden pathway to a lucrative career anymore so you will be spending money and time and in 3 years you might not be in any better position to leave escorting than you are now. So pick a course wisely with a clear career pathway.

Same position.

When i started my income was good, last few months have turned to crap. Worried about how I'll save for my tax bill etc, too many wasters and men who dont want to pay a deposit. I think im going back into full time work come Jan and may or may not escort on the side.

I'd recommend trying to cam- can sometimes be good, maybe get a volunteer job on the side, look at touring etc xxx
