An interesting video clip from BBC News recently crossed my desk. In it, Dr. Belinda Brooks-Gordon of the Birkbeck University of London, strip club owner Peter Stringfellow, and not-present news columnist Kevin Maguire (proxied by a BBC anchor) discuss the results of a University of Leeds study that determined that 25% of UK lap dancers have a college degree and that these women are choosing this profession because they can make more money doing it than they can in more traditional college-graduate jobs.
The video is not embeddable, but you can find it here. A 15-second commercial precedes the roughly 3.5-minute clip.
At some point I'll see if I can find the paper itself and try to find out if similar research has been done in the US.
