I’m a model. In 2016 (16 years old) I moved to China on my own for work. I’ve been working as a model since I was 13, but it was in China where I discovered that the model-to-escort pipeline is very real & sex is used as currency. Modelling doesn’t really pay that well - the real money is made by escorting & modelling work is just a fancy ad: you being the product.
I work in factory automation in the automotive sector. I think the dark side of automotive is the sexism and casual racism of the old white fucks. Women either work the front office for shit pay and are not taken seriously, or are hired in engineering positions strictly because they are good looking and not based on merit.
Every automation show I go to are the same old white, cigar smoking, whiskey sipping, men and for every 1000 old white man is 1 super hot young engineer.
Maybe that’s not strictly in this field though.
