The idea of prostitution is better than gov dependency? Interesting. Sounds like ppl who choose gov dependency over selling their body for money preserve more dignity and self-respect. But hey, it's your life and body, only you get to decide what you wanna do with it.
A finding from a large study involved 8560 prostitutes reveals that for each increase of a year in age, a prostitute's hourly wage decreases 4.5 percent. Looked at another way, Sohn found that prostitutes between ages 35 and 40 earned 52.8 percent less per hour than women under 20.

You're right that you might have to ctb soon if you don't find another income source. It probably won't make financial sense to continue to work as a sex worker, given your age. FYI, soon you might not be able to spend so much time on this site, since the decreased hourly wage has to be made up by work hours and/or extreme sex acts such as golden shower gangbang as the worst example off the top of my mind.
However, there may be entrepreneurial opportunities where the value of your experience can outweigh age-related decreases in sexual desirability.
Sorry about the bluntness. I'm just giving honest opinions rather than a motivational speech.
