Job Opportunities?

It's people like me that make the world a better place by providing a positive example for the public. You and the other TS's working in the sex industry drag the rest of us down - the ones that want to be more than just sex objects.

Someone has not noticed that HA is a sex site.

And yet you have not noticed Im only guessing that she is telling people things from deep inside and that people should have the common courteousy that if they reply to be nice and not a ass and reply ill to her....Not saying that you are just stating what some people should do and its not only a sex site.

Ruby, you have the tools to succeed at whatever career you choose after escorting. What's making you want to get out of the escort business at this time?

[RubyTS]

Mainly boredom and the need to feel PURPOSE. Aside from that the social and dating aspects of living a life as an escort are lackluster. The people i encounter aren''t on the same level as me and i really want genuine friends. Dating will be hard because i have already developed major trust barriers but im willing to take a chance and see if people on the outside are any different. I don't dislike what i do, it has its ups and downs and im not planning on quitting escorting just yet, just mostly trying to explore other possibilities. I know i have the potential for much more and i'd like to challenge myself.

Ruby, I am impressed how you handle yourself on this board. Often times, like in this thread, you don't take the bait on people trying to drag you down. Other times, when it seems timely and appropriate, you don't back down, you stand your ground, and dish it right back. Your stories are well written, and your concerns are legit, most of the time. If I remember right... you're in your mid or late 20's, and I'd say you're quite mature and experienced in life. Those are things that will come in handy in the broader workforce.

I agree, you're smart and it is clear you have a good temperment and heart. So from what I've seen I bet you'd be phenomenal as a counselor of some kind. It would enable you to work with people and you'd probably really excel but you wouldn't have to put up someone else's temper or impatience in the clerical-type jobs you mentioned.

As far as being out of the conventional workforce, that is easy, you could just say you were taking care of an sick family member. Doubt that anyone would fault that, since females are generally the caretakers and keepers of the family.

Big cities have job fairs for transgendered people, and that is a potential place to look. San Francisco and New York have had them. Here is a news story on one:
But given that you look like a natural girl you can probably compete with the best anyway, but it is an option to consider nonetheless...

Have worked in nursing, been a secretary, administrative assistant, sales assistant and god only knows how many mind numbing positions. Finally got wise to myself and started my own business, and have never been more happy.

From one trans to another, my first advice would be to decide if one wishes to work as a "trans" or pass as a female. Having done the later, am here to tell you it is nerve racking and not always the best of choices.

That being said, know of trans who are nurses, airline hostesses, and everything else in between.

Personally, just like many gays, finding running my own show a better way of earning a living. However it is not for everyone, as some people need the structure of a 9-5 job.

Best advice can give is the standard response to anyone seeking out career: find something you like to do and are good at (no, not sex, *LOL*) and try to earn a living that way. If you like what you do, then going to "work" is not a "job" but something fun.

If you look around closely, you will find lots of trannies and gays doing their own thing, and making a decent living.

Good luck!

Hey rubes, I'm one of your genuine friends/homies lol! And I'm still refraining from yelling at Tika. Well no need to now JW took care of her

pay him no mind he doesnt know me or my capabilities. some people just say things on here for shock value. I dont respect the opinions of people i dont know or dont respect

It's "she", not "he", you ignorant tramp. I'm starting to see where your employability is headed from the way you're reacting and expressing yourself.

This is why I'm a transwoman working in the medical field as a caregiver, bettering myself and being respected by my employer - and you're sucking cock for money.

I really don't give a fuck if it's judgemental, holier-than-thou, or whatever. I'm better than you and that's all there is to it. I'm sick and fucking tired of you shallow, plastic skanks thinking that big fake tits and silicone-injected hips make you a better person somehow.

Funny how as a silicone injected sex worker, I made a smooth transition into the work field and now work 20 hours for a community based organization as a peer educator, where I parlayed my expierences into helping other girls to better their lives, get legal help and get their lives on track and do things the legal way. My expierence has lead me to speak at several universaties on the trans expierence and how society and straight people played a role in the path my life took. So no bitch I didnt drag andbody down, I lifted myself up and am bringing up those around me up who want to make a difference, and am pointing the younger generation in the right and safe direction.
Miss Ruby my sister I am proud that you are speaking out on making a change. I;m sorry that you are not in my city and I cannot get you the help you are looking for. I wish you the best!

my .02 cents

Tika I've read what you had to say in response to Ruby's question posted here in this thread and quite honestly it's appalling. She genuinely asked a question to better her life and you IMO looked to tear her down mentally. Your choice of words towards her were demeaning and my question to you is: What would you do if you were fired tomorrow and no other temp agency or medical provider offered to hire you? Please don't bullshit around saying you wouldn't consider escorting because let's face it, unless you're a crossdresser and can still throw on some dockers and a dress shirt you'd have a difficult time landing a job in these dire times.

Is it possible that you could have been sincere and humane towards Ruby and possibly told her how you slithered into the medicare field? Sure it is.....

Is it possible you could have supported someone who like it or not is a sister of yours in this lifestyle? Sure it is

Yet the best response you had was to try and insult her and anyone else like her on this forum who might have been curious about taking the path she's starting to walk.

Shame on you.................

Its people like Tika that made me stay off this site for a while. A certain girl on here thought to make herself more appealing to those on here she would constantly attack me and even went so far as to make up lies about me. The reality of it all is some girls have low self esteem and need to put others down to make themselves look better. Life takes us down many paths and my past expierences have made me the stronger person and I have taken on a leadership role within both of my communitys. I say both, because I work in the Puerto Rican community, and I am a part of the trans community. I'm not ashamed to have done what I had to do to get where I wanted to be in my life. My advice to Ruby since many larger citys have resources within the community to find her work. A trans or gay help center is a good start. Doing comunity based work is always a good place to start. maybe even try volunteering a few hours to get seen and known and make contacts. Always point out the fact that you are ready to work. We as trans woman, need to make ourselves more visible in mainstream society.

Ruby, we've updated the Transfriendly Job Listings thread,
perhaps there is something there currently that you might
be interested in, or they may be something that a employer
has open that was previously posted.

At any rate, best of luck.

If there is anything that I can do to be of assistance, don't hesitate
to PM me.
