Consultant or Prostitute?
I orignially found thishere , but the link died, so I'm posting it here.
I stumbled upon this again today when cleaning up bookmarks, and it's starting to feel a bit too real at this moment in my life.
- You work very odd hours.
- You are paid a lot of money to keep your client
happy.
- You are paid well but your pimp gets most of the
money.
- You spend a majority of your time in a hotel room.
- You charge by the hour but your time can be extended
for the right price.
- You are not proud of what you do.
- Creating fantasies for your clients is rewarded.
- It's difficult to have a family.
- You have no job satisfaction.
- If a client beats you up, the pimp just sends you
to another client.
- You are embarrassed to tell people what you do
for a living.
ยท People ask you what you do and you can't explain it.
- Your family hardly recognizes you at reunions (at
least the reunions you attend).
- Your friends have distanced themselves from you
and you're left hanging with only other professionals.
- Your client pays for your hotel room plus your
hourly rate.
- Your client always wants to know how much you charge
and what they get for the money.
- Your pimp drives nice cars like Mercedes or BMWs.
- Your pimp encourages drinking and you become addicted
to drugs to ease the pain of it all.
- You know the pimp is charging more than you are
worth but if the client is foolish enough to pay it's not
your problem.
- When you leave to go see a client, you look great,
but return looking like hell (compare your appearance on
Monday A.M. to Friday P.M.).
- You are rated on your performance in an excruciating
ordeal.
- Even though you get paid the big bucks, it's the
client who walks away smiling.
- The client always thinks your cut of your billing
rate is higher than it actually is, and in turn, expects
miracles from you.
- When you deduct your take from your billing rate,
you constantly wonder if you could get a better deal with
another pimp.
- Everyday you wake up and tell yourself you're not
going to be doing this stuff for the rest of your life.
