University

People complain that 'you need a degree for everything these days'. Ironically, the same people who complain when some-or-other professional they've dealt with performs sub-standard work. Besides, their claim of a degree for everything is patently wrong.

There are no degrees for people seeking careers in the prostitution or pornography industries.

Imagine such a faculty at uni. Its not hard, there are videos about them. But imagine anyway. Given the amount of fornication and debauchery that occurs among uni students ordinarily, what could be expected of the students attending these courses? Probably they'd have tea parties and bake sales. Or they'd spend their time studying the course and doing their practical- oh- wait that's the same thing.

At least the students would get all their assignments and projects done on time. Ahead of time. Sleeping with the lecturer would not be taboo- it would be retermed as a 'practical exam'.

Assuming such a faculty would exist, what courses and degrees might it provide? Bachelor of Pimping? Bachelor of Applied Self?

In today's age of political correctness, it would be inappropriate to have course based on a person's sex or sexuality- this would require careful choice of core subjects. In fact, almost everything might need to be elective.

As utopian as this concept seems, I suppose there would actually have to be boring subjects in there as well. For the self employed street walker, there'd be a need for basic business skills, basic psychology for detecting sociopaths and basic psychology enabling you to convincingly tell your client that they are special/beautiful/well endowed/etc.

For the wannabe porn star, there would be acting classes consisting of the many different ways "god! oh god I'm coming! oh! oh!" can be inflected for effect.

If the porn star was going to limit themselves to still photos that they'd distribute via the web then I suppose they'd want a business aspect to the course as well.
