Why Stripping In Idaho Is a Better Option Than College

Books or Looks?

Monetarily speaking, Idaho women who chose books over looks are being short-changed.

The Books. According to data collected by Salary.com, entry-level teachers make an average of $39,492 a year.

As of September 2022, salaries for new teachers ranged between $32,983 and $48,152. Key factors such as education, specialty, endorsements, and experience greatly influence a novice educator's starting compensation.

The National Educator Association reports the average American teacher owes approximately $58,700 in student loan debt. Given the shockingly low entry wages of their chosen profession, educator debt is problematic to say the least. And really, even if a teacher is or isn't saddled with student loans, living off less than $40,000 a year is challenging.

The Looks. According to data collected by ZipRecruiter, Idaho strippers make an average of $40,864 a year.

As of October 2022, salaries for strippers in Boise, Idaho ranged between $23,310 and $93,241. Key factors such as pole dancing skills, location, and experience play a major role in a dancer's compensation.
