Are you still of the belief that twerking is a sin and morally corrupts the mind? Well, know it that you can twerk for a living. That is what a 22-year-old former Florida teaching assistant, Jessica Vanessa, has taken as a profession and since she began professional twerking, she has been grossing over $10,000 annually.
According to Daily Mail, Jessica decided to quit her day job and take to shaking her bottom and she has become a social media star who captivates audiences from around the world with her hypnotic gyrating.
Jessica, who was formerly working as a teaching assistant from Florida, quit her job in order to pursue her twerking career after advertisers discovered her dance moves through her Vine videos.
For Jessica, quitting her role as a teacher was a no-brainer when she did the maths and realised that she could be earning more twerking than she could ever have dreamed of working in a school.
Presently, Jessica has over two million Vine followers, and large companies are queuing up to pay her large amounts of money in exchange for her mentioning their products to her two million strong following.

What I make in six seconds would take me four months to make as a teaching assistant. It’s definitely a blessing. I bought a new car, paid it off in full and I was able to get out of debt from the school that I graduated from.
It’s quite simple really, the more followers you get, the more advertisers want to pay you for mentioning their products – and I’ve got lots. Quitting my job was definitely a risk because I knew once I quit, there was no turning back.
Either I make money doing these videos or I’m going to be broke and jobless. When I was younger, I was very shy and I didn’t like dancing in front of anybody. Then I kind of fell in with a different crowd and got more confident.
By the time I hit high school, I was definitely a party girl. I do get plenty of rude and mean comments. I’ve even had two breakdowns over them – where I have literally locked myself in my room and considered taking down all of my social media accounts.
I’m not a celebrity but I do get a taste of what they have to go through. I have strangers calling me a whore, people calling me fat, people calling me ugly, people saying just about any mean thing you could say.
People like to define you as a whore for twerking but it’s just a type of dance, that’s it, if people were open-minded they would understand that. My family are very open-minded people, they don’t look at it in any type of sexual way, they don’t look at it as degrading, they’re very supporting.
I would have no problem showing my grandmother my twerking videos – she is wild and crazy and would probably want to join in with me. As a little girl, I always wanted to be somebody big, I always wanted to entertain people, I would sing, I would dance, I would do whatever it took and if I got a laugh out of people I knew I was doing something right.
I always enjoyed doing random crazy stuff so when I got a day job it was not something I enjoyed doing. Now I look at Vine as an outlet to many different opportunities which I enjoy doing now.
