For example, I live in Romania. The net minimum wage here is around 2700 lei, and many jobs (especially entry-level ones) pay that amount or close to it. The cheapest rent in the city is about 1500 lei per month. You literally can’t survive on the remaining 1200 lei. Sex workers are judged harshly, but for me it’s the only job that allows me to live comfortably while also having time to focus on university, especially since my parents can’t support me financially because they are poor themselves.
Did you know that you can just put “college student” on your resume instead of “sex worker”?
How did you pay for “college student” and what work history do you have? Then the lies start, so it’s better to have a plan than to plan to lie.
