Don't be a whore.

Qualifications are very good on paper, but at least as important is how someone presents themself. I have frequently hired the less qualified individual who I felt had the chutzpah to learn quickly and be an asset to the team. You can teach technical skills. Teaching interpersonal relations and drive is a lot harder. I have also had to fire people who were very qualified to the point where they felt they knew better than anyone else there.

I'm sure her interpersonal relational skills, technical skills, and willingness to do what the job requires are all first rate...

Yes. I question why someone who has gotten to be a grad student has to sell their body and integrity to survive.

Why do you assume that sex work means the selling one's integrity? Selling with lies is selling one's integrity. A telemarketer scamming unsuspecting consumers is selling his integrity. A promoter selling "investment products" with lies is selling his integrity. Selling sex per se is not selling one's integrity.

You want to talk about 'selling their body', talk about football players and pugilists -- they routinely engage in physical activities with very high risks of bodily injuries. When done for a paycheck or a scholarship, that's literally "selling their body".

I see no ground to judge prostitutes any more harshly than salespeople or athletes.

Of course you don't. You would have no problem with your sons working as blowjob hustlers to get through school.
