How to Run Away and Join the Circus

Kristin Finley had a comfortable life in Los Angeles with a stable job, a decent salary and solid benefits. But everything changed when she took her first trapeze class. In fact, she loved it so much that she decided to—quite literally—run away and join the circus. Now, she's living her dream at dizzying new heights.
 
As of Mar 11, 2021, the average annual pay for a Circus Performer in the United States is $63,526 a year. Just in case you need a simple salary calculator, that works out to be approximately $30.54 an hour. This is the equivalent of $1,222/week or $5,294/month.
 
How To Join the Circus
"Circus performers have a better outlook in today's society than most jobs – and you get to do what you love for a living? Where can you sign up? If you're working on a skill that you're willing to dedicate your life to, your name could be the next big act. It's best to start right now, because you've got a wild ride ahead of you".
 
I've always admired the circus esp for its daring acrobatics:

Loved the old song about the "Daring Young Man On the Flying Trapeze".





But it's a tough life. I had an uncle who was a clown but he was not a happy guy despite his smiles and friendliness towards others (he had a deformed leg which he used in his act). Poor guy died an alcoholic and of cirrhosis.

My dad took me to the Barnum and Bailey circus at Madison Square Garden on year. I was enjoying the acts until the clowns decided to climb into the seats in front where we sat. I was terrified, and my father had to take me out of there. Never again. Totally gross me out and never took my son.
