Have you ever asked yourself how long you want to work as a sex worker? Maybe you see it only as a temporary job and have other plans for later. Maybe you have no idea what you want. Maybe your personal situation is so complicated that you see no alternatives.
Often you have more options than you think. A realistic outlook and a good plan may enable you to take small steps to achieving your dreams. I have no idea where I can find a different job. What am I supposed to put in it? I have no idea. If you want to stop your sex work, you will have to think about how to go about it. What are the financial consequences? What's going to change in your life? Quitting sex work raises a lot of questions.
The answer depends on your personal situation. You will need to find out your options before you stop your current occupation. At least you will be well prepared to start something new when the time comes. Finding work in Flanders is not that easy. You may get discouraged because you don't meet the job requirements.
