The girls are not idiots, so they will attempt to take advantage of their proximity to money. But usually, that's not working too well.
Right. If you've had the opportunity to talk frankly with women from the actress/model/waitress set, of which there are far too many in LA, you hear how it's not working. It's fun when young, but not a career path. The number of models worldwide who make more than an entry-level Google employee is less than 100.
A typical model job is catalog photography: "OK, the next outfit is #4527, the tan blouse on the second rack, and hurry it up, we have 50 more to do before lunch." The high point of a friend's career was being in a McDonalds commercial that ran nationally.
