Some expenses like paying for drugs so you're able to do that without feeling like killing yourself, paying your pimp that needs to pay your driver/bodyguard... In the end you might as well just get that degree instead.
If you've got a pimp, then you're not independent.
Whaaa lol my word

Many of these jobs with degrees still have high rates of drug use so idk. Kinda seems like society is fucked up in general and just a lot of adults are on a drug of some kind every day. Including caffeine

Majority of UK women sex workers are drug users, specifically of heroin or crack cocaine
That study is looking at STREET sex workers only, and wasn't assessing it's claim of what percentage are on drugs but instead assessing treatment for them. Their inclusion criteria was that the person was already using drugs and on the street... so ofc 100% of these workers will be using drugs because that's the criteria. Also, SWers who are on the street are not a common group of SWer (even though they are very visible and stereotypical) since vast majority is done through online means or through popular hangouts like bars etc. If you're advertising on the street, it's because you likely can't get into bars or hotels (banned for soliciting or look obviously not well).
Just seems like a bad study that has an n=11 which is super low.

Street SWers are different than other SWers^^^
Look at the study PDF and the sources used to make the claim.
I did look at the study. You'll have to quote the sources or link the sources directly.
Not everyone needs drugs to feel good about the work they're doing. Sounds like a personal problem to me. Not sure why pimps come into the picture, and body guards and drivers just sound like wise investments if you can afford them in this day and age.
It's just the reality of the work we're talking about in this conversation, drug use is extremely common in that field. Not every job has a majority of workers that are hard drug users.
