Published: 29 April 2010

鈥o Ada Sinacore, an associate professor of counselling psychology at 69热视频, the issue is much more complex than students wanting to make money. Over the past two years, she鈥檚 been doing research on students who pay for their education through sex work. According to her, engaging in this line of work is a last resort. 鈥淚t鈥檚 not to say that all women think it has a negative impact in their life,鈥 Sinacore told the Straight in a phone interview from California. 鈥淏ut it鈥檚 not something they are choosing because they think it鈥檚 a great way to make a living.鈥 Sinacore added that women who fund their schooling this way face consequences both during their studies and after they finish. Her research indicates that this could include everything from not developing their r茅sum茅 in their area of study to having a fear of being discovered and stigmatized by potential employers to possible legal ramifications. The above were cited as reasons why women were reluctant to speak openly about their participation in the industry.
