What job would you like in a circus? Selling tickets to enter the circus knowing that the people purchasing tickets from you will be treated to a great show? A clown?

I’m thinking the ring master would be a pretty good gig. Many people might look good in a black top hat and a red coat with tails. I on the other hand would look like a bad imitation of a member of a 1970 British rock band. However, the ring master does have the perception of someone with a good chunk of control.
