Why look for a regular job? Continue OF for another year, retire with this fuck you money and do whatever you want.
I think she's just doing this for free promotion. Every article that's written about her she probably gets tons of new subscribers.
Yup, work the system for all it's worth. The damage to the reputation is long done, so bleed it dry.
If you follow the link another helpful commenter left, it's pretty obvious she's not interested in being an educator. She's using the controversy to promote her dick-sucking videos.
I mean.... for that salary and the work you must do, I am surprised anyone is interested in being a teacher.
She clearly chose to be born in a capitalist society, what a slut
Nobody was talking about "getting rich" In some states you cant even live on a salary of a teacher and people are forced to work secondary or part time jobs. Of course, teaching is beter for sociaty than making videos for onlyfans, but I don't blame her one bit.
You're missing the forest for the trees. Teachers need to be paid more so that they can actually support themselves. Making derisive comments about people moving to other careers because they pay better is just attacking the wrong people. Making millions on OF is an extreme exception, but there are plenty of teachers who have left the education field to become a bartender or such, because teaching wasn't paying them enough to afford rent and groceries. Teachers leaving the field are the victims of this, get mad at the system not at the people trying to survive.
No, you don't get it. Every single person needs to grab their bootstraps and pull so hard that everyone is promoted to management! Then we'll all make management salaries. Having no employees left to manage, we'll resort to managing each other.

How about: it’s a good thing, so we should properly compensate people willing to do it and do it well. This is a societal problem, not a her problem.
Btw, putting the onus on the woman is something that misogynists would do, so you’re probably not really making any kind of point anyone would agree with except for maybe misogynists
Or maybe she's falling back on her only option after she had to quit and got fired.
I think it's probably better to say: " she’s not interested in being an educator anymore. "
You are probably right now, but I'm willing to believe that she did at one point want to be an educator, but the financials didn't work that way. Can't blame her.
While I don't think she should have been terminated from her role, I do wonder why this tactic seems to work so well.
Many smaller news outlets (especially in the UK) regularly run stories about a young woman going through employment disputes, being dumped in some way, or going through something borderline newsworthy, and many times these women have a OF page they actively promote.
I wonder if it's just easy stories from people that want to be promoted?
I don't want to dismiss the issue of people being fired for doing completely legal things, but I can't help but agree, this always seems to be the case. I saw an article recently about a woman struggling with other parents and teachers at school because of the size of her breasts. Seemed sad enough and didn't really understand why it was newsworthy, until I saw the mention of her OnlyFans and it all clicked haha.
Sounds insane to me, but whatever, different strokes for different folks.
Most people need something to do. Being free all the time is rarely good for mental health.
Develop an interest or a skill for God's sake
Her skill was teaching kids, probably wanted to keep doing that for fulfillment despite the poor pay. But they wouldn’t let her.
teaching kids online pays as much or more.
China was desperate for proper kids teachers to teach English and everything else (as opposed to the ESL teachers, or the "generic white people whose only skill was being born in North America").
She already has the equipment for it too.
If she gets financially stable from OnlyFans, she can probably find a way teach. There's no need to rot just because your time is free.
absolutely. online is super easy (to find work for someone with her training).
Thanks for the reply. But this is not what I meant. She seems politically locked out of schools, not inable to find application forms.
I was thinking more along the lines of non-profits which are always looking for volunteers. She could even spearhead an advocacy group with her current influx of money and fame
One can dream
So get a hobby.
Lacking external forces to structure your week and help motivate you? "Just be internally motivated!"
I'm pretty sure my mates mum would die if she ever stopped working, she recently had to slow it down and give up one of her 10 jobs.
According to her videos, she has mastered several different strokes.
It's about structure and routine. A lot of people hospitalized for psych report issues with too much free time. And for a lot of people one of their only protective factors is a stable and satisfying professional life
I have no idea how people like this exist.
If it's your own business or hobby then cool. But people out there feel the need to do some sort of basic job is crazy to me.
Income isn't stable and isn't enough to be considered fuck you money.
A million in 6 months, I think if she could keep up near that for a couple of years, she could invest in something safe and live off of the gains.
Which part of "not stable" did you not understand?
What part of “if” and “near” and “a couple of years” did you not understand.
That's a mountain-sized if pretending to be hamster-sized.
Because maybe they actually love being a teacher?
Sorry you cannot be a teacher unless you're poor. That's why the pay is shit.
