From the Editor's Desk

Out of work? Dust off your resume and get cracking! It's almost too late if you're looking for any sort of crewing or guiding job for the summer season. Here is a sample to help you get started... www.yachtie.net/Sample.htm. Have I told you guys about travelwriters.com lately? If you have any aspirations to write about your travels, this is a great site. They send out press releases, they have lively discussion boards, they send out notifications of press trips, and give you some online paid publishing options. I highly recommend them.



Now let's get on to the REALLY extraordinary jobs... Ed Teja has written a great article for us about jobs in and around the Circus, and Alisha found some other fun articles dealing with Circus news and jobs. Which circus? Any circus! Ed’s article came about after I did some volunteering in a concession stand at Barnum and Bailey's Circus. While I was there I met a nice lady who sells the toys and t-shirts for the circus. She was a retired school teacher who was traveling with the circus for fun. I learned a little from her about the way she lives. Their traveling community is like a small city. They have doctors and teachers for the kids and everything they need to lead mostly normal lives. I contacted Ed about it, and he actually had a friend in the business, so agreed to pursue it in depth.

Running Away to Join the Circus
Posted by alisha on Wednesday, June 03 @ 12:40:03 MST (85 reads)
Ed Teja answers your questions It seems that a downturn in the economy makes people think wistfully about joining the circus. Maybe it is a form of escapism, a throwback to reading Huckleberry Finn too many times, or perhaps it is a dose of reality—if the prospects for a career in real estate or in retail just tanked, why not do something exciting! Something that has a bit of the exotic about it. Whatever the reason, the lure of the circus has never been stronger.
