Wall Street afterlife: "Because even sad clowns are a hoot at a birthday party"
From the Times today:
This week’s news that the city plans to spend $45 million to retrain jobless Wall Street executives may, understandably, have been met with less than sobs of gratitude in that demographic. After all, as the happily divorced like to say, stick a fork in a toaster once, it’s an accident. But a second time?
We're with you. And so writer Michael Wilson suggests some heh-heh suggestions for former Wall Street executives. Such as!
-- Lead walking tours amid the ruins of your past life
-- Become a butler
-- Sell cigars
-- Shred documents
-- Entertain small children
Because even sad clowns are a hoot at a birthday party, said Gary Pincus, owner of the Send In the Clowns Entertainment Corporation, which plans parties in the metropolitan region.
“We get a lot of calls from Wall Street guys who are looking to work with us,” he said. “They want to change their careers. I told them to call me when our season gets going in March.”
The party racket is more than just balloon animals and squirting flowers. “Selling parties, running parties, everything that goes with the party,” he said. “A Wall Street guy could come over and do magic shows for the kids, play musical games with the kids, do face painting with the kids.” There are positions for disc jockeys, stilt-walkers and mechanical bull servicemen. And, of course, the marquee job.
“We’ll hire clowns from Wall Street,” he said. “No problem.”
