Women of child-bearing age have discovered an exciting new career path.

Nursing professional Kate Gosselin used fertility doctors to birth to both a set of sextuplets and the blockbuster TLC reality series “Jon & Kate Plus Eight,” for which Gosselin and her husband are paid as much as $75,000 per episode.

The Gosselins cranked out 40 episodes in season four. 40 x $75,000 = $3 million. Every notice you never see Jon & Kate at work anymore?

Now Nadya Sulemon, who made headlines by birthing octuplets in January, has signed for her own reality series, which sounds a lot like the Gosselin show. She and the production company behind the project have yet to line up a channel to air what comes of all this.

Fertility clinics should brace for the onslaught of young women aching for their own turn in this lucrative new industry. The next benchmark is nine fetuses, of course, but Manuel Uribe, Bubba The Love Sponge and Kirstie Alley are proving every day the human belly may be inexhaustibly elastic.
