Well sure but a decent, independent escort in a city is easily pulling in $200-$500 per client, seeing more than one client per day, and getting paid in cash. There are some expenses to account for but it's pretty feasible to net six figures over the course of a year working just 5 days a week... or so I've heard.
Most SWers get paid per hour, not per client, and that ranges depending on the city, generally $500/hr on average for full service. Most are not high volume (danger goes up from both clients and authorities, which is why high volume tends to not be as intimate and tends to be in a building for that purpose, eg happy ending massages, bunny ranches. Or high volume tends to be strippers who can find clients quickly and easily). Most tend to see men mostly on weekends (demand). Even so, it's still lucrative, can be a good side hustle, and gives you a lot of free time.
There are other payment structures as well. I am a Dominatrix, so how I personally structure my payments are a little different and my relationships with my subs are a little different (nonsexual sex work). I'm extremely low volume, I require ongoing relationships (no one and done), I take on 1-3 subs at maximum. Because I do this, I have very high payment thresholds, which are not hourly but instead usually weekly or monthly and usually include extras like gifts, travel, apartments, etc. I also get a small amount of money through the porn/nudes I make, which are really just advertising for my Dominatrix business (I honestly do not enjoy taking nudes at all, it's not very fun for me).
I partially do this payment structure because of the special relationship of a Domme/sub and things like sub drop, where I may need to be "on call" and available for my subs. BDSM is trauma work, I am confident about that, and subs can be triggered and may need extra assistance afterwards. I do not think it's ethical to do the kind of trauma work that is required in BDSM and then retraumatize them by repeating patterns of neglect and abuse. The healing part of BDSM is that the nightmare ends and gets addressed, or is transformed in some way.
I have a pretty good life. I get to travel all over and I get to do everything I want to do. I have a ton of free time as well. I don't think I'd enjoy being a different type of SWer but I do love being a Dominatrix a LOT. Something about telling a millionaire he's a pathetic baby unfit to lick my feet while he's groveling on his floor in a maid dresss really does it for me 🤌

True. But the original post was bragging about working 365 days per year.
Some expenses like paying for drugs so you're able to do that without feeling like killing yourself, paying your pimp that needs to pay your driver/bodyguard... In the end you might as well just get that degree instead.
If you've got a pimp, then you're not independent.
Whaaa lol my word

Many of these jobs with degrees still have high rates of drug use so idk. Kinda seems like society is fucked up in general and just a lot of adults are on a drug of some kind every day. Including caffeine

Majority of UK women sex workers are drug users, specifically of heroin or crack cocaine
That study is looking at STREET sex workers only, and wasn't assessing it's claim of what percentage are on drugs but instead assessing treatment for them. Their inclusion criteria was that the person was already using drugs and on the street... so ofc 100% of these workers will be using drugs because that's the criteria. Also, SWers who are on the street are not a common group of SWer (even though they are very visible and stereotypical) since vast majority is done through online means or through popular hangouts like bars etc. If you're advertising on the street, it's because you likely can't get into bars or hotels (banned for soliciting or look obviously not well).
Just seems like a bad study that has an n=11 which is super low.

Street SWers are different than other SWers^^^
Look at the study PDF and the sources used to make the claim.
I did look at the study. You'll have to quote the sources or link the sources directly.
Not everyone needs drugs to feel good about the work they're doing. Sounds like a personal problem to me. Not sure why pimps come into the picture, and body guards and drivers just sound like wise investments if you can afford them in this day and age.
It's just the reality of the work we're talking about in this conversation, drug use is extremely common in that field. Not every job has a majority of workers that are hard drug users.
