Does an Aging Prostitute Retool or Retire?

@ 08:37 PM (29 months, 12 days ago)

BERLIN (Reuters) - German prostitutes are signing up for a career change, training to become nurses to tend to the country's aging population or working phones as tele-marketers.

Thirty prostitutes have enlisted in a church-funded project in the state of North-Rhine Westphalia and more are on a waiting list, project coordinator Gisela Zohren said.

"Competition in prostitution is fierce and the days when one could make a decent living out of it are long gone, especially once you hit the thirties," Zohren said.

She said prostitutes' fees had hit rock bottom and they were well suited to jobs on offer in the retraining program.

"After years of prostitution, they know how to listen, look after people and are savvy in selling over the phone," she said.

This looks like another discrimination case.  What is the Church doing to retool aging pimps?

  1. Perhaps they should consider trying their hand in Iran. I hear there isn't much competition there.

  2. I think Iran is already loaded with pimps.
