One of the major themes in The Art of Power movie deals with a young woman’s struggle to pay for college. It’s a concept familiar to many of us who have had to pay our own ways through school. With college costs increasing by the year, some students are understandably getting desperate. Some women are even turning to prostitution, just like our female lead in The Art of Power.
This story out of Knoxville, TN, highlights some of the reasons why women see prostitution as an answer to their financial woes:

Mary Jayne sips her coffee and explains that she’s a sophomore in the massage therapy program.
Unlike many of her peers, however, she’s already found a part-time career that earns her an hourly rate comparable to that charged by the highest-paid attorneys, accountants and physicians.
Mary Jayne is a professional escort - she provides her services at the rate of $350 an hour - and an occasional adult film actress.
