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."
