BY AMIRA BORDERS • TWITTER MIRRAAAAAAAA

tudents joke about dropping out of school to be a stripper, but for some, it’s not really a joke. University of Oregon graduate Corrie Hart didn’t drop out of school, but one day, she made the conscious decision to take her finances into her own hands, even if that choice was controversial. “My parents were pretty well off, I was pretty middle- Sclass, but my parents didn’t help me at all,” Hart said. “
ey were pretty mad I went to a four-year [university]. So, I was more struggling kinda paycheck to paycheck. I was scraping by.” Just days before her 21st birthday and the winter break of her junior year, Hart turned to sex work. She started stripping at
e Mancave in Springfield and eventually moved over to
e Nile in Eugene. She said she got into sex work from her interest in seeing strippers on Twitter with big bags of money; she wanted to have that as well. Hart was attempting to support herself financially, and when it came to food, she realized she wasn’t eating any protein in her meals and was basically living off of Top Ramen. “I felt like none of my friends related to that.
ey all had money from their parents or something,” Hart said. “I knew money was my number one stress before school work or relationships. Money was always on my mind, so I was tired of that. It didn’t feel fair.” Due to having full-time class schedules and for some, a full-time job, collegiate sex workers use the opportunity strip clubs and websites provide to financially support themselves and pay their expenses. But as they come to identify with the occupation, they face barriers of stigma surrounding their jobs when coming out to their families and in society.
e Emerald spoke with several women at UO who have gone down this path — making their own decisions and taking their livelihoods into their own hands — while defying more conservative views centered around the profession. Once Hart started dancing, she went at her own pace of talking about her job. She said she never felt ashamed of dancing, but she was lying to the people around her about where she would go or what she was doing. For a long time, she didn’t tell her family about her job. When Hart finally told them, her parents did not accept her choice. Hart describes her family as seeing stripping as a gateway to prostitution and drug use. “
ey were so mad.
ey said some really awful things,” Hart said. Like Hart, that sense of hiding something from your parents and essentially living a double life is one of the struggles sex workers in college face. Sophie, who wishes to only disclose her first name, is a 2018 UO graduate who describes herself as someone who loves to dance in all settings, even having the courage to often jump and dance on tables and bars. Sophie started stripping at
