My friend Eliza has a two year old son that her mom has custody of. Eliza doesn't have a job or a car so she doesn't have a way to see her kid. Her mom doesn't even want her around because she's on drugs so bad and she hangs out with all the wrong people. I've given Eliza rides to different places before and she always promises to give me gas money but she usually doesn't.
Anyway, recently Eliza told me that she was trying to find a job but she didn't have anyone who would take her to get applications. I told her that most places have their applications online now but she doesn't have internet so she wanted to go to these places and ask if they were hiring. So I told her that I would be her ride. It turns out (after I go pick her up and ask where she wants to go) that she's actually going to an audition because she was to be a stripper. I guess a strip club in the next town over has amateur night and she wanted to do it.
Against my better judgement, I agreed to take her to do this because she was already in my car and I felt like I couldn't back out after telling her I would be her ride. Well, she didn't get a job offer at the first club so she asks if we could go to another big town in Indiana. Keep in mind that this town is a good two hours away. I'm not sure why I agreed other than wanting to get away for a little bit. She tried out at a handful of different clubs but as far as I know, she didn't get any offers. I felt like I wasted my time by helping her out. She wanted to go to this town in Indiana because she wants to work where nobody knows her. Well everyone already knows about her drug abuse and her not so innocent reputation. I don't think anyone is going to be surprised that she wants to be a stripper.

I am really sorry for her and for people like that. I do not know if in this world any lady wants to become stripper from deep of heart or just they do that as they do not have any other option in their life?

I think as a friend you should be able to convince him that there is still much more work dilkaukan than being a stripper. Indeed, if she thought about him it would not be a problem but what if he had a son, then anakanya know that his mother is a stripper, how the child's shyness. I think your task is to remind and help him to find a good job darpiada a stripper.

You have proven to be a good friend and I know how it must have felt for you driving her to somewhere against your better judgment. I have made few similar calls in my life helping friends as well,but before I actually agreed to help I made sure I knew what my friends' plans were and also contributed by giving advices. I gave friends places to live for free and more because I know they couldn't afford it at the time but with the expectation of them helping out, not necessarily on bills, but at least on themselves, but mostly it just failed. Sometimes, we can only do so much and the rest actually is just up to them. I wish I could have done more, but would it have made a difference, with their mindset? I doubt that. I think the first thing to do is help them set their focus to straightening up whatever mess they are in then start moving forward.

You did a good thing. It doesn't matter what the job as long as it is legal where you are it's a job said and done. Now I would have to say looking for a job two hours away when you don't have a car is plain silly unless you plan to move tot hat place, and could easily have been the reason she didn't get any jobs. I would say you have done your good deed but leave it there if you feel used, or as though it was a waste. It is never good when you begin to feel as though your friends are a burden.

Out of desperation, it is her last resort. It may not be the best job she can get, but what can she do if she doesn't have sufficient experience. People may say a lot of nasty things about her. But I do think that the most important thing is she is doing all she can to make a living.
