This comparasion intriques me...
Both are based purely around renting something you own though....
So, how is it?

@LukeAlmighty being a landlord mostly involves just a large investment and then paying other people to do work when necessary (like maintenance). For the most part, it's passive income. All they do is collect money from people. I'm not saying that being a landlord isn't legitimate, but it's not necessarily "work," it's just investment.
Being a sex worker requires you to actually do stuff. You're trading your body, your dignity, and possibly your health for money, but isn't that what a lot of other jobs consist of anyway? It might not be moral/ethical work, depending on who you ask, but it is still work. You're still doing something directly related to the money you make, whereas a landlord is probably playing golf while making passive income.
@KaiserKitty @LukeAlmighty you mean, putting your property up on rentler or hiring a realtor? Or the renter asking for something to be fixed so you pay money for a maintenance dude to go fix it? Literally it's just throwing money at something that you believe will continue to generate money for you. It gets even worse when it's not just a single property but a company that manages a whole community, because the landlord isn't the one doing the work to upkeep that, they're paying other people to do it. To fill out paperwork, do maintenance, find residents, take rent, etc. They have just paid a lot of money and they get more money in return, or at least that's the goal.
The people doing the work are not landlords. In the rare case that a landlord is doing work, they're either not doing "landlord work" or they're doing something like filling out forms and printing them off.
