Strip clubs are basically recession-proof. People go to them when they're happy and they go to them when they're not. 
 
 I started as a bouncer for one near a local college back in 1981. I was 21, in good shape and horny as hell so I jumped on the chance to spend my evenings watching women undress. Every so often I'd have to intimidate the odd pervert into leaving but it was generally a pretty easy job; just stand around looking scary and try not to get *too* distracted. 
 
 For the first few months it was glorious, pretty much exactly as you'd expect, but at some point my enthusiasm to get up and go to work -- or get up at all -- started to wane. To keep the job interesting I'd made friends with a few of the girls and a few of the regulars; both groups were mostly fellow students, surprisingly. One of the psych majors introduced me to the concept of the hedonic treadmill, that people tend to return to their baseline level of happy given enough time. So it was n't really that I was n't interested anymore, I'd just gotten better at running at that speed. 
 
 With my mind freed up for other pursuits I became a mentor of sorts to many of the younger patrons. If someone had a paper due I would n't let them in until they had turned it in, though they'd get in free after, and if someone needed to discuss a high level problem with someone who had no idea what they were talking about I was their man. A few of the regulars were even pursuing degrees in fashion and just coming in to do a bit of recon. 
 
 Much to my surprise, I had a real eye for what worked and what did n't. One day I spotted a student's rough draft of a nightie she was designing and offered her some tips on how to improve it -- better airflow, more freedom of movement, and so on -- based on my experience, observations and conversations with some of the girls about how terrible their outfits were. She got an A thanks to me. Turns out I was n't just watching, I was learning too. Word got out about the fashion guru working at the strip club and I started to see more and more fashion students, even the odd professor who swore he was there on business.... 
 
 Talking with everybody made the job enjoyable, so much so that I kept doing it for longer than most people would. Hell, I'm still doing it now, 34 years later. Once a semester I give a lingerie design talk to the new students too, so they know what women who wear the stuff almost every day want and do n't want. I hope one day to see one of the students I've helped accepting an award and thanking me. A few have promised so I'm optimistic it'll happen at least once. 
 
 It's not the path I expected to take in life, but it's been fulfilling.
