Jobs

So while I've been pondering my possible future of living in Hawaii for 6 months, some friends of mine (people who you can read about through those handy little links to the right) have been cooking some hairbrained scheme: "A Different Spin: East Coast". Although this is clearly not what it would be called (I hope), that at least conveys the idea. For those of you that don't know, A Different Spin is a circus troupe formed by several of my classmates from Vassar out in San Fransisco area. Juggling, fire manipulation, magic and the like. I got asked today if I would be interested in doing this with them, and the answer is, of course, an almost unmitigated "Yes, God, YES!" However...

Yes, "however" has reared it's ugly head. "However", I may be moving to Hawaii. But I love to juggle. And regardless of how little it would pay, I would be earning more than if I went to Hawaii. "However", can I possibly base a life-long career on juggling? Am I/are we potentially good enough to do that? Maybe not even a life-long one, just one that lasts a while. What would we do after that, "however"? Even if that wasn't possible, it would be fun for a while. Doing something I like with people that I like. Is there a downside?
