Who would wish to return to a civvie job not me for sure! Much prefer my freedom and not having a boss or team of colleagues to cope with, restrictions on hours etc. No way.
Same for me. I fully agree with you.
But many women may want to stop at some point in their lives. For example:
a) a woman living in the USA who has been arrested for prostitution and who knows she will be imprisoned if she is arrested again,
b) a woman who has genital health problems,
c) a woman who is deeply disgusted by sex work after several years,
d) a woman who wants to stop because her new spouse does not accept her job,
e) a woman over 50 who thinks she is too old to continue but too young to retire,
f) etc.
All these women can realize that stopping and finding an ordinary job is very difficult.
On the one hand, there is something addictive in this work. Then, as you say, it's hard to accept a low salary, a boss, fixed schedules and tiresome colleagues when we experienced freedom for several years.
And on the other hand, even if we are ready to accept all these constraints, it is possible that our past as a prostitute sticks to our skin and prevents us from finding a job. Or prevents us from keeping it if we found one.
Also its not alwas you it can affect family if you have children they will grow up and who knows what they'll do .
Yes very true.

I am not saying that we should not do this work. I am simply saying that we should not take the decision lightly (as many young women do). It is a decision with far-reaching consequences.
And that's something I was not fully aware of when I started at the age of 18.
