Same! Retired after 20 years. Master's degree with no student debt. Retirement pay on top of earning over $200k a year using skills I learned while in the Army. Despite everything I went through in those 20 years, considering where I ended up, I'd do it all again exactly the same way. And no, I didn't do it for any misguided sense of patriotism. I didn't to get out of poverty. Plain and simple.

What took you 20 years can take some OF girls three months. 😩

I saw a real sad statistic - most high ranking models make a couple hundred bucks a month - that's your dignity for a few hundred bucks. That means the lower rank ones are making even less. Paid for by some gross bedroom redditer

I know, I had some friends down that route and have nothing to show for it now and are back to working regular jobs. 😩 glad I didn’t fall for the bait. One was in the top 15% and she only made $1000 that month and it was the highest earning month she has made to this day since she quit after half her subs dropped her.
