Yes,....she was a popular spa girl, worked an average of 3 or 4 days a week and did very well,....but like anything, there are variables and dependent on where one resides.
One example might include,... whether or not they have a valid drivers license, insurance and own/lease a car. Unless living in some mainstream city offerimg mass transit, I've found it imperative. Surprisingly, most don't drive.
The lady I'm referring to drives,... has been working at an assisted living facility for nearly two years, event planning and scheduling, makes about $800 per/week with paid benefits, shit health insurance coverage but nonetheless, insurance,... works part-time at a Whole Foods as well and trust me, doesn't have the best command of the language but manages. She hasn't received her green card yet, renews her work permit every two years.
Speaking of green cards, if working at a legit casino, at the very least, one is required for bonding/insurance purposes.
Ladies I know which have gone the Cosmo route, have gotten caught up in Asian scams, most have gotten ripped, up to $2,500.00,... the learning centers, the exams, not even real or accredited. Even if they did get a certificate from someplace, they work for little or no hourly income, mostly predicated on tips which are meager at best with 10 to 12 hour work days, at times, no off days.
Perhaps the best thing I did for her, besides simply helping, encouraging her, was introducing her to the local Chinese community via, a Chinese Church,....she's made some very good, traditional friends which have succeeded as well, many choose to remain single, yet productive, successful in fending for themselves. These are the exceptions, not the rule.
