How far would you go to put food on the table? Or, a roof over your children’s head at night?

It’s not often that you hear the details of a career lived on the streets, let alone by someone who raised a family from the money she earned working them.

But Barbara Terry supplied them for an article in The New York Times. Trained to be a medical lab technician, by age 21 Terry’s husband had left, leaving her with children to support.

So, she says, she turned to prostitution, working the streets of Hunts Point, a Bronx neighborhood of warehouses and repair shops that straddles a busy expressway. It’s where, Terry says, she has worked most of her adult life.

Mike, Jeff and Karan weigh in.
