All very good points, Beth.
Very good points.

Your helped me realize that in my initial post I was thinking of "high end" escorts, those who make a lot of money. I was not referring to the condition of the women that you described. Glad I was given the opportunity to define my own thinking and to post a correction here.

Always about the "high end" escorts, I do believe that they like most of their work because they make a lot of money. I found a few months ago the list below (US) called Highest Suicide Rate by Profession. The section about women is below the list for men. It is interesting that prostitutes do not appear on the list. But physicians, dentists, chiros, are at the top. Between you and me Beth, I find being a high end prostitute much less disgusting than being a physician. Both do it for the money. Physicians would not work without being very well paid (of course there are exceptions like Medecins Sans Frontieres and many at the local level):

White Women:
• Among white women, physicians are at the highest risk as discussed previously. The rate is 2.78 higher when compared to non- physician general population.
• Likewise, sales related jobs are equally stressful with male dominance and sexual harassment issues leading to a higher rate of 2.43 when compared to general population.
• The third highest risky profession that is associated with suicide is women in law enforcement agencies (detectives and police), with a rate of 2.03 times than that of general population.
