There's also a degree of truth in the old joke about the guy who runs away from home to join the circus. He find a circus, gets a job, is handed a shovel and told to go clean the [excrement] out of the elephant cages.

Ten years later the circus makes a stop in his old hometown and he runs into some people he used to know, who ask what he's doing these days.

"I shovel elephant crap twelve hours a day in exchange for a place to sleep and two meals a day," he tells them. His friends, horrified, ask why he doesn't leave and find another job. "What, and quit show business?"
