Ever wondered how much a nightclub hostess makes? Japan Probe has an interesting article and mentions a  recent survey that 22.3% of Japanese women between the ages of 15 and 22 wanted to become hostesses.

On the chart of “dream jobs”, nightclub hostess is ranked #9 while a civil servant is only ranked#18.

James goes on to explain that it is because successful hostesses can make a lot of money.

According to Asahi news, the average hourly pay of a hostess is 4000 yen, more than doubled the 1200 yen hourly average paid to female officer workers.Of course, popular ones would be earning millions of yen per year.

Here’s a short clip that follows Momoka, a popular hostess, throughout her night:

As you can see, at the end of the night, Momoka earns about 250,000 yen. Thats close to what I earn in a month!!

But after work, life is not that glamorous. Momoka goes back to a small apartment and she says that she doesn’t intend to stay in this line for long. Her ambition is to earn enough money so that she can open her own doggie cafe.
