School officials in Palo Alto are reconsidering their use of a popular speaker for an annual career day after he advised middle school students that they could earn a good living as strip dancers. William Fried told eighth-graders at Jane Lathrop Stanford Middle School that stripping and exotic dancing could be lucrative career moves for girls, offering as much as $250,000 or more per year, depending on their bust size.

Ugh. This is why we’re going to homeschool.

did this article qualify as a business opportunity ?

Just because AP writes an article on what one madman said to a group of school girls - should you give it importance ?

This is outrageous!

I’m sorry if it wasn’t clear what kind of post that was. Not only do I point to valid business opportunities, but I also like to regularly point out the idiocy of the state. This was one of the latter types of post.

I really think that article has received way more attention than it deserves. My take was that he was trying to make the point that there are many ways to make a good living that you won’t learn about in school. A very valid point. However, the guy that clears $100K every year recovering golf balls from water hazards probably would have been a more appropriate example.
