There are a few possible other motives. Boredom, for one - being as long-lived as the El Aurians can surely engender some ennui with life. Guinan (though this may not be typical of El Aurians) also seemed to have a particular matriarchal protectiveness for humanity.

Or a simple desire to see (yet more of) the universe. Plus a bartender's the ideal job for a "listener".

I fully agree here. If I wasn't Starfleet, I'd BEG to be serving bar in a Ten-Forward. You get to socialize, interact, and serve. With no money, its never a customer service nightmare the way current retail have to take. Meanwhile, you're with a ship exploring the galaxy that has one of the most powerful computers ever built. A motivated person could essentially learn infinite amounts of information while serving bar. Incredible job!

It does seem like a pretty sweet job.
What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

No money means no tips. On your feet all that time just for the right to serve sythetic drinks. I don't know about that.

I wonder if strippers still exist in the 24th century??? Enterprise could have used a couple in ten forward, don't you think?

Can we have a "Chief Stripping Officer" on the Paladin, Teaos?????

Please, please, please?

She could even be a department head, with other strippers under her.


Didn't mean that the way it sounded, but I like it enough that I ain't gonna change it.

I can't see Picard letting strippers on his ship, unfortunately.

Besides, they'd have to operate outside the Federation, what with the UFP's no-money deal and all.
