An Atlanta stripper who is allegedly financing her own collegiate experience thanks to her work at a strip club shared a photo which basically explains why she's a stripper. Aside from being comfortable with exhibitionism, she likes getting paid. By paid, we mean $3,345 from a single day's work. 

"Menagerii" shared this photo on Reddit, along with the comment "From now on when people ask me why I’m a stripper, I’m just going to show them this picture." The money wasn't easy to come by: She worked a double shift—15 consecutive hours—to earn that money. 

However, the dancer issued a reality check to other dancers and aspiring dancers, warning them that every night won't be as lucrative:

As a stripper, you don't make hourly money. You actually have to pay to work. At my club, it's 35 and 10 percent to the dj per shift. I work to halves of a shift (4-12 instead of 11-8 or 8-4) so I actually have to pay that out twice, which usually runs me at least 100 dollars a night.

Still, by the time she earns that engineering degree, she should already be straight financially and well on her way to making even more money. The grind don't stop.
