She can and will do this forever.
We are at the edge of massive change about to come into her life. This is the edge of the status quo of her life right before the twin catalysts of meeting Ben and having Al find her and re-take possession of her.
Her status quo is that it is rare for a white girl to be a hooker - implying the trade is made up more of minorities - and rarer still to be a white girl from a good home - growing up in the east. She has thus CHOSEN this life because she is good at it and can make a lot of money doing it, instead of having it thrust upon her due to being a poor minority with no other choice to stay alive.
