Tough Times In The !!!!!! Industry

For Stern, 23, the rapid decline of job opportunities in the !!!!!! business over the last year has been dramatic. She has gone from working four or five days a week to one and now has employers pressuring her to do male-female sex scenes for $700, a 30% discount from the $1,000 fee that used to be the industry standard.

Less than two years ago, Stern earned close to $150,000 annually, sometimes turned down work and drove a Mercedes-Benz CLK 350. Now she's aggressively reaching out for jobs and making closer to $50,000 a year.

"I wish I would have never gotten into it," Stern said of her career in !!!!!!. "When you get used to a certain lifestyle, it's really hard to cut back and realize this may not be forever."

    Tough Times In BTL Industry

    For Stern, 23, the rapid decline of opportunities in the BTL business over the last year has been dramatic. She has gone from renting four or five properties to one and now has tenants pressuring her to reduce rents to $700, a 30% discount from the $1,000 rent that used to be the industry standard.

    Less than two years ago, Stern earned close to $150,000 annually, sometimes turned down new properties and drove a Mercedes-Benz CLK 350. Now she's aggressively reaching out for cleaning jobs and making closer to $50,000 a year.

    "I wish I would have never gotten into it," Stern said of her career in BTL. "When you get used to a certain lifestyle, it's really hard to cut back and realize this may not be forever."

    It could have been worse, she could have chosen a career in banking.
