First of all, let's not conflate findom manipulation (which is a skill.. just a very scummy one) with Pro Dommes and sessioning. The amount of equipment, location & travel expenses, advertising, knowledge of both the human psyche and the physical body that the top of the class Pros build over time easily rivals or exceeds what a lawyer does by taking an extra few years of classes, doing so internship and passing a bar exam at the beginning of their career.

The barriers to entry are much lower, but explain how a lawyer must limit what they eat and how they work out constantly in order to maintain a model's body? How they have to scramble against soceity to even advertise for business... Working hundreds of hours on social media only to have Twitter/Instagram/Tumblr randomly shut down all their work by closing their account. How a lawyer has to pay by the hour or the day to even have a place to work unless they build their own place, which can be raided and everything seized under bs RICO laws.

But, in all honesty, that has nothing to do with the hourly rate. Social workers and teachers have to have as much training as a lawyer to be certified in some states and make nothing compared to them. Anyone can do plumbing and charge $125 an hour, but in order to actually have a legitimate business as a plumber you have to spend years in apprenticeship and tens of thousands of dollars in equipment. How much these people want to make for their effort at getting the proper credentials and having the right equipment doesn't matter.

Is a pro baseball player worth $40 million a year based on the amount of training they did? Are models, actors or rock stars worth what they make based on how much "training, schooling, hard work" they did before landing those choice gigs? Hell no... the difference between a musician who has a real job to pay their bills and a rock star who lives in a mansion is a combination of inspiration and luck, not how much practice and work they did.

For Dommes, its not that sex sells, its about the free market and what matters is what someone is willing to pay someone for their skills. Just like every other field. A Domme can ask for $1000 an hour and if she can convince someone to pay that, then she is worth it. If a Domme only changes $75 an hour, then that is what she is worth (and can probably make more than a teacher or social worker for the same amount of hours). Do you think lawyers and doctors all charge the same rate or that their rates are based on their training? Nope... Its based on what they can get for their skills... Same as all the Dommes we know and love around here and elsewhere (even the scummy-ass findumbs).
