I’ve been thinking about trading my body for money. I’m currently working part-time and living with my parents. I take my part-time job seriously, and I consider myself a serious person.
This content is machine-translated.
But my father was self-employed, and after the company was handed over to relatives, he lost his job and is now doing manual labor.
Our family is also living off our savings. Recently, my father has been saying that once he gets a little older, he’ll do cleaning work, so somehow we’ll get by. But even now, he’s a little lazy at his part-time job, so I’ve started wondering calmly what he’s talking about.
It’s the time of COVID. There are also many families in much worse situations than mine. So I thought I would work for other people. But in the end, I’m nothing more than a high-school graduate working part-time.
I resent my uncle’s serious-minded daughter, who attends a nursing college—the same uncle who cut my father off.
Would any of you want to choose an aspiring actress? More accurately, a woman who failed to become one.

I don’t like the idea of selling your body.
It gives me the impression of enduring that time and putting up with it for the sake of money.
Maybe that’s exactly what it is, but I still feel it would be better to have something positive to look forward to.
It would be good to have a goal to work toward beyond doing this for money…
By the way, university nursing programs can be expensive, but you can also pursue nursing at a public vocational nursing school without spending quite as much.
I hope you won’t give up on yourself and will think about your future.

Maezawa from the CEO’s office here as well.
I’m having trouble following your question.
> So I thought I’d get a part-time job for someone else’s sake.
Do you mean you’re donating the money you earn from the job? Since there are many families in worse situations than mine, saying you’re doing it “for someone else” makes it sound as though you’re donating all of it. But your parents are dipping into their savings, so you don’t really have that kind of leeway, do you?
> Would you like to choose an aspiring actress? More accurately, a woman who failed to become one.
That isn’t particularly relevant. If you’re attractive, I think you’ll receive offers.

I’m Saito, a column writer♪
I’ve had a similar experience myself, so I understand how you feel.
It’s truly frustrating, isn’t it?
When you’re pushed into a corner and can’t solve everything with money, it’s more difficult than you might imagine.
“If you don’t have money, use your ingenuity.”
Eventually, money will start gathering around that ingenuity.
Whether it’s papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan) or anything else, learn from the way outstanding business owners think and add your own ideas to it.
Selling yourself off piece by piece? It all depends on how you look at it.
It’s not as though anyone is actually cutting off your arm.
When I was in college, I was struggling financially and couldn’t even afford my entrance fees.
After entering the workforce, I worked hard and eventually gained a certain degree of freedom.
If another pandemic happens, I can start an alcohol company, and I can manufacture masks in-house as well.
I’ve reached a point where I can buy most of the things I like when I see them.
Now I’m able to treat everyone I once resented with gratitude.
Use your resentment and hunger as motivation, and keep working hard.
I’m rooting for you.
I don’t know whether this will be of any help, but if you need anything, please ask the staff to make an offer to Saito.

There’s no point in hating nursing students, and it will only make you bitter, so please stop.
They passed because they worked hard, and as you wrote, they must have seriously done their best.
Why not focus on doing what you can right now?
Even if you feel like a failure, I’m sure you have wonderful qualities.
Feelings of hatred and jealousy show on your face.

I know what you mean. There are probably plenty of households in that kind of difficult situation right now.
At least you have a home, some savings you can draw from, and your father seems to be doing well, so I’m sure things will work out somehow!
Besides, envying or resenting other people is a waste of time, and it’s not as though that relative who’s studying nursing has done anything wrong.
For all you know, they could be wiping out an enormous debt by closing down a company. It’s not impossible.
It’s better to remember that what you know isn’t the whole story.
Also, whether you do papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan) is a separate issue, and whether you’ll actually receive any offers is another matter entirely.
Personally, I don’t think you should use a sad life story as your selling point. That said, there do seem to be some people who are drawn to unfortunate circumstances, so it’s hard to say.
If you’re cute, I’m sure you’ll get offers.
But if you think of it as selling your body, you might want to reconsider. Starting too casually could end up hurting you.

Is this your first time asking a question? I feel like I’ve seen a similar question with the same kind of wording before.
Anyway, I wouldn’t make an offer to an aspiring actress—or someone who didn’t make it.

I’m in Seattle.
If she’s some kind of aspiring actress, I’d definitely request her. If she’s cuter than the nursing student, there’s no reason to dislike her.
Quit your part-time job, make lots of money through Universe Club, and show them what you’re capable of.
Don’t let your parents take your money. Save it and use it for your own future.
