No wonder Wyclef fell in love with a stripper -- not only can she put her legs behind her head, she also has a bachelor's degree in ceramics from Alfred University.According to a year-long study of British "lap dancers," 25 percent of them have college degrees, all have finished school, and almost 90 percent of them had taken a continuing education course. So, what draws these well-educated ladies to the entertainment sector?
EYYYYYYYYY, must be the money, Nelly: Most dancers made between $37,000 and $74,000 annually -- and women with arts degrees who suddenly realize that ceramics degree isn't good for much also reported turning to private dancing for money.
The women surveyed also cited flexibility as another thing that attracts them to dancing, proving that not only are they smart, but they also enjoy a play on words just as much as the next guy.

Imus did a man-in-the-street interview with a stripper that his opportunistic producer Bernard McGuirk rounded up, in the early 90s.
It quickly came out that she was working for a masters' degree from Columbia in political science.
So the entire 5-minute Imus interview was about the Middle East.

Sorry, degree or no degree, strip clubs are never worth it, and dating a stripper is nasty. I was broke in the past, because of going to strip clubs, and I feel like I cannot have a normal relationship with a woman, because of it. Damn strip clubs, do nothing but make us guys broke and go home with blue balls.

thats below average. according to the US census bureau in 2002 they said that 30% of americans are college educated. I mean its still more then i expected by theres no reference to gauge it by.

One of my best friends is a dancer....she also spends her weekends culturing rare bacterium in a bioscience lab, to finish her double degrees in microbiology and biomechanical engineering. She'll get out debt free. pretty sweet if you ask me.

The flip side of this is that a college degree may not get you a better job than stripping in a men's club.
Another side is that you can do jobs in when you are younger, good-looking, and energetic, that you can't do when you are older, and its better to go where the money is now.
And last, why would anyone have anything to say about strippers, in this day and age, when everyone knows that the real sluts are politicians, bankers, and triple-dipping public workers. I think those poor girls actually work for their money.

A degree ins ceramics? Does that mean a degree in material sciences, or a degree in molding bits of wet clay into rubbish no one wants. If that qualifies her as smart, ho god, watch out world.
Face it, how smart could they be to pursue such worthless degrees that they wind up dancing naked for a living? I'd call that stupid, and it leads down the road to them becoming slags.

It was T-Pain who was in love with a stripper, not Wyclef Jean.
