And was paid to sleep shop and go poop. So she weighed a guaranteed 30 hour payout over 6 days in a hotel suite vs having to slum it and try to score 30 1 hour tricks over a six day period. She knew what she was doing.

That makes all kind of assumptions. First that she's working 24hrs a day without rest. Next that every hour she is "working" she actually gets paid. That the $100/hr "work" is the exact same as she would make with the $3k. A better more reasonable estimate would be that she probably works 12+ hrs a day but only pulls in 6-8hrs of "work". Now that is $3,600-$4,800 for the same time period so she would make more but it doesn't account for the days where she may only pull 2hrs of "work" instead of 6-8hrs. Taking into account the rather high class room and board plus the clothes and jewelry and generally much safer environment; I'd have to say that $3k is a much better deal. There are more reason still but it's more involved than I'm willing to go into right now.

I think it’s a decent deal because of the above comments, but at the end of the day 24/7 availability is still there so if she was only working 8hours a day then should should have been asking for overtime

Pretty sure this expense was written off as an internship. Because she got the job at the end of the movie.

I’m iffy on that because interns don’t usually have job experience... she had plenty of experience

I'm going to make a lame comment and say she got the better end because she found her oh-so-true-love.

If I remember correctly there was an alternate ending originally. He didn't show up and she went back to the street. But it was a Touchstone/Disney picture and they threw it out and he came up in his limo with flowers instead.

Making a prostitute into Cindarella is kind of a shitty plot. I know it's just a movie , but still think its not a good thing for impressionable young girls to see. I used to work in Deteoit and I use to think it was funny watching all the "working girls" hide/run from the cops, I saw a some crazy stuff, it wasn't untill I saw a girl/child around 10 or 11 years old that it wasn't funny anymore. I started considering the way the girls end up in that situation and it is heartbreaking. Just a movie I liked when it first came out, my perspective has change a lot .
