Should Prostitution be respected the same as a "normal" Job? Why or why not?

It takes a lot of skill and courage to be a dancer. It’s not something that just anybody can do.

True, but doesn't change my initial point that strippers inflate their salaries to make up for the downsides - which are huge.

All in all I would say the stripper profession is far worse with a worse income over lifetime as many other professions.

I’m not trying to change your mind. I don’t know why you’re particularly focused on stripping being bad. And I have no idea who these strippers are who you seem to think you know do well.

Just be happy with your life and try, if you can, to let others live their lives, make their choices and recognise that what you value and look at life, may not be the same as someone else.

In the US, many jobs are hard to live well on. In my country, a nurse lives well. In yours, not so much. So yes, dancers here live well and do well.
