Ideal for: Women with a yearn for the road
and a loving of decapitated caravans and mucky clothes.
Job specifications: You wander around
the land, staging occasional performances to get a few coins (although some
say those are just elaborate distraction methods to filch a more substantial
amount from your audience’s pockets).
Drawbacks: It’s not the job that’s bad, it’s the total lack of security.
Long weeks on dusty roads, living from hand to mouth, the cold ground for
your bed and the threat of thieves sneaking into your camp in the middle of
the night. (Thieves stealing from thieves. Now that’s a kicker.)
Perks: Meet a nice hunchback and you could be immortalized in a book and
its anesthetized Walt Disney version. Merchandising rights negotiable.
