Slept to Get Ahead

I always felt that my parents wanted a boy. My father was an overachiever and I spent the first 35 years of my life trying to show him that I could do anything a son could have done. Don't get me wrong, I'm not blaming them. I was hard driven to be the best at everything and it started in college. I was frustrated with Calculas and worried about my midterm. I hired one of the professor's assistants but I still wasn't getting it. He mentioned that he had bought a couple of exams when he was an undergraduate. I didn't have much money, but he was amiable to other types of exchange.
For the next 15 years whenever I hit an obstacle I used my sexuality to get ahead then pretended it never happened. One day I was out for dinner with a senior partner at our firm (consultants not lawyers) at the trendiest restaurant in the city and that TA was one of the waiters. Horrified does not describe how I felt. My world crashed around me. I suddenly realized what I had done to myself. My six figure salary meant nothing. This waiter had me in my prime because I lacked forsight and sold myself short. That was exactly 10 years ago.
I left the restaurant that night, horrified that this man might recognize me. I quit my job the next day, sold my apartment and borrowed against all of my equity to start my own business in this strange new media, the internet. I've made a fortune 'online', without using my sexuality. I have a family and I'm raising my kids to respect themselves.
Please, women if you are struggling and consider even for a moment using sex to get over a hump, DO NOT GO DOWN THAT PATH.

I was a stripper for 2 years during college. I never slept with any clients but I feel the same way.

People frequently do what they feel they need to do to achieve the goal, sometimes the ends justify the means but anytime you have to sacrifice your morals to achieve a goal that goal is hollow and not worth having.

Congratulations on finding yourself :)

Hats off....

Not for using your sex or for correcting urself but accepting your mistake in front of millions of people it takes a lot more courage to accept your mistake in front of people then to just correct your mistake and keep mum.
