  STUDENTS are turning to the sex industry to pay their way through university because federal Government reforms have made education increasingly expensive, a Melbourne researcher says.
  
  Students chose sex work because it offered short hours and high pay, according to a University of Melbourne survey of 40 sex workers from seven Victorian tertiary institutions.
  
  "The women involved in this study placed a very high value on education.
  
  "For them, the importance of a good education for their future made working in the sex industry worth it."
  
  However, leaving the industry once they had graduated was difficult because of a mismatch between credentials and employment outcomes, Dr Lantz said.
  
  The few students in the study who had since finished their degrees had all continued to work in the sex industry, she said.

  Read from an interview that the first customer is always the hardest. Once you could get over it, getting used to the job is only a matter of time and you wouldn't lose much sleep over the subsequent customers (no pun intended).
  
  Longevity of the job actually depends on the individual. Some women make enough cash to pursue independent careers of their own leaving their past behind; some settle down with magnanimous or ignorant men; some continue to spiral downwards along the path of self-destruction, charging less and less...
