Career advice for eighth graders.
Calif. schoolers told stripping can be lucrative
Management consultant tells eighth-graders
money to be made as an exotic dancer
The Associated Press
Updated: 10:25 a.m. ET Jan. 14, 2005SAN FRANCISCO - The principal of a Palo Alto middle school may not invite a popular speaker back to an annual career day after he told girls they could earn a good living as strippers.
Management consultant William Fried told eighth-graders at Jane Lathrop Stanford Middle School on Tuesday that stripping and exotic dancing can pay $250,000 or more per year, depending on their bust size.
“It’s sick, but it’s true,” Fried said in an interview later. “The truth of the matter is you can earn a tremendous amount of money as an exotic dancer, if that’s your desire.”
Fried has given a popular 55-minute presentation, “The Secret of a Happy Life,” at the school’s career day the past three years. He counsels students to experiment with a variety of interests until they discover something they love and excel in.
But school principal Joseph Di Salvo said Fried may not be back next year.
The principal said Fried’s comments to the class came after some of them asked him to expand on why he included “exotic dancing” on his list of 140 potential careers.
Fried spent about a minute answering questions, defining strippers and exotic dancers synonymously. According to Jason Garcia, 14, he told students: “For every 2 inches up there, you should get another $50,000 on your salary.”
“A couple of students egged him and he took it hook, line and sinker,” said Di Salvo, who also said the students took advantage of a substitute teacher overseeing the session.
“It’s totally inappropriate,” Di Salvo said. “It’s not OK by me. I would want my presenters to kind of understand that they are coming into a career day for eighth-graders.”
That stripping advice wasn’t the only thing that riled parents. Di Salvo said one mother said she was outraged when her son announced that he was forgoing college for a field he loves: fishing.
“He really focused on finding what you really love to do,” said Mariah Cannon, 13.
Fried, 64, said he does not think he offended any of the students: “Eighth-grade kids are not dumb,” he said. “They are pretty worldly.”

If there are any exotic dancers reading this, I would like to date you. I won't tell my wife if you don't.

I am not fooled. You are not an exotic dancer, no matter what your chest size.

What's the baseline? Surely not zero, otherwise a 36" would earn $900k.

Yeah, I was wondering about that 2" thing too. At 64" I could be a millionaire in no time and people been calling me 'shorty' all my life!

Surely, for men it should double that, at least.

No, you silly, it's for each additional two inches. Do you suppose this career consultant owned a share in a cosmetic surgery practice?

Additional to what? Is there a base salary tied to a base breast size?

There is a name for what you two are practicing. It is called "willful ignorance."

I may be willful, and I am indeed ignorant in this matter, or at the very least in the dark. I still want to know what the base breast size is. If it is not zero, then can I assume that one loses $50k for every 2" below the benchmark? And once I know the base breast size, I need to know what salary correlates to it. There is not enough data to do the equation. And what about cups? Where does the alphabet figure? I defy anybody to tell me with assurance the value of a particular breast size based on the data at hand.

Pete, Pete, Pete...
I can't help you with breasts size. I'm no expert. I only know mines.
Wasn't there one of you who posted about being titties slapped on the face ?
Sergio?
*edit*
It was Sergio's best friend, not Sergio himself.
Milles excuses.

Plenty of people make a comfortable and respectable living in the fishing industry, I imagine. It's not like the guy did something really irresponsible, and recommended a career in jazz!
