Consultant or whore?


  • 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.

  • People ask you, "What do 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 AM to Friday PM).

  • 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, "I'm not going to be doing this stuff the rest of my life."
