Are all cheerleaders, considered models?

[Anonymous]

Pro cheerleaders, are always taking photos for photo shoots, and are thus models, they get paid for it, I believe.. but

College cheerleaders, are not paid to take photos etc.. nor are high school cheerleaders and middle school cheerleaders and or even if it goes into elementary cheer?

So, are they still considered models though, since they're not paid?

No, it’s just a lot of guys will pay for the photos. So, the cheerleaders do the shoots. I assume they can’t wear team colors for unofficial shoots. Their pay generally really sucks. I’ve read many pro cheerleaders end up making less than minimum wage.

They have to have a full time job, just to be a cheerleader, too

[horatiohornblower]

Yea a lot of them really have a tough time because of it too. As they have such a demanding schedule for the team.

I was a cheerleader in high school, and I would never ever consider myself to be a model lol. Life goes on after cheerleading. Possibly, pro football cheerleaders are models because they are picked through their looks, but that’s about it.
