You could also have had 52 playing cards in a deck. But weeks in a year is the one I was thinking of. Well done!

Exotic dancer - needs no further explanation.
TV programme scheduler - the allocation of time slots to fill with TV programmes is known as stripping.
[The original question was: what word can be associated with these three occupations?]
