You love entertaining people and putting a smile on a kid's face. You know you can be juggler, a face painter or even a clown. But you're always worried if such jobs can pay your bills or sustain you till the next paycheck. Take Todd Neufeld's advice. Some entertainment careers are far more rewarding than an 8-hour day job, so much so that he dropped his law practice to become a balloon twister, the Brooklyn Daily Eagle reports. "It sounds like a jump, but it was more of a logical progression," Neufeld told the news source. "I followed what I liked to do." The Wall Street Journal reported that balloon twisting, which has tremendously grown for the past decade, is now the "most-requested form of event entertainment." Typical balloon performers earn about $35 an hour plus generous tips from corporate sponsors. Popular balloon artists such as Don Caldwell and Larry Moss earn as much as $2,500 an hour, the Journal said. Balloon twisters create 3-D balloon versions of pop culture icons, European art and almost anything kids would want. What's more interesting is there are no limits to creativity, except for the limits you place on yourself.  |
