You don’t need experience or to be particularly gorgeous or slim. All you need to be is comfortable getting completely nude and having people stare at you.  You also may have to stay still in a less-than comfortable pose.  After breaks you have to remember how your arms were placed, etc.  No biggie! Working for a school you can make $15-$20 an hour or more for a professional artist. Just be sure it’s legit (take a friend if you are nervous).
