Its hard out there for a pimp

[vagabond]

especially now. Changes in the sex industry have rendered them superfluous. I met 11 pimps working out of midtown Manhattan in 1999, and all were out of work within four years. One enlisted in the military; two have been homeless. Only one now has a full-time job, working as a janitor in a charter school. I asked one of them how pimping experience helps him in the legit economy: You learn one thing, he said. For a good blow job, a man will do just about anything. What can I do with that knowledge? I have no idea.

in the comments section they are hammering the author's research skills

Ever heard of narcissism? Get over yourself. It's a story about hookers. There's nothing tragic about the results or the article. "Adult service professional," LOL!!!! Don't be so offended. When you have your heels up in the air, remember you're a professional! Even professional ice skaters do that!

The nature of this study makes the research very complicated. I agree that we should all take this article with a grain of salt. However, if you must critique it, please articulate your thoughts clearly and concisely. Your obscure stream of consciousness makes your ranting very difficult for anyone to understand your logic.

lol @ comments

Yeah, this article barely scratches the surface but there may be something more substantial in the future.

I was looking at a talk by Steven Levitt and he made reference to his co-author, Sudhir Venkatesh, the author of the above article.

He seems to have done some really interesting stuff: http://www.sudhirvenkatesh.org/books/gang-leader-for-a-day
