Smart lap dancers

Of course, those partaking of the joys of strip clubs and lap dancing probably don't think very often about the intellect of the young ladies who are gyrating and gesticulating in arousing manners to pad their garters, but it turns out that it's a viable income generator for those who need the money -- even those who are college graduates and beyond.

One in four lap dancers has a university degree

All the 300 women interviewed during the year-long study had finished school and gained some qualifications.

Almost 90 per cent had completed a further education course, while a quarter had undergraduate degrees.

Just over one in three dancers were currently in some form of education, with 14 per cent using dancing to help fund an undergraduate degree.

The researchers found arts degree graduates were most likely to turn to dancing after being unable to find other work.

Others used dancing to provide a more steady and reliable income when working in more unstable arts jobs.


Of course, one is rarely lucky enough to acquire a lap dancer as accomplished as Natalie Portman.
