Does Wall Street Like Clowns?

Heya monkeys, when’s the last time you all saw a clown show? Were you ever scared by them as a kid? Loved them? Hated them? And no the clown at work that annoys you doesn’t count.

And hey, regardless of how you feel about them, at least some of them are having a good time with it.
A former VP has taken to clowning around for retirement. After trying it out for the first time years ago, she realized how much she loved being able to bring some fun into children’s lives. After breaking in, she later became the president of the World Clown Association and now works in educational programs in clowning. From a VP at a bank to breaking into clowning, I don’t suspect she’s ever going to look back.

Where do some of you monkeys see yourself a few years down the line? Have you ever started on a hobby on the side that you’d like to pursue once you’re retired? What other dreams do you all have besides high finance?

I personally don’t like clowns and the get-up just looks silly to me (although that's probably the point). But if clowns are able to help the poor and ill have a nice day, like the retired VP does, then more power to them.
