Putting the prostitution to one side, the underlying issues are particularly concerning to me. In this article, young people appear to have either large debt or expensive taste. They're encouraged to attend college, but increasingly find that the available jobs don't meet expectations. "Vanilla", low-paying employment. The description of the young woman who learned how to present herself and even how to do an elevator pitch sound like the exception, rather than the norm. Not everyone is so ambitious. Instead, the article suggests that most young people start doing this out of desperation. Desperation for paying off increasing debt, desperation for not having been taught or learned the skills necessary to have a non-vanilla, well-paying job, desperation for not being able to have the life that seems so accessible online today but only available to a few.
