I am interested in joining the local Renaissance Faire after graduating college and before/while attending grad school. I’ve been several times and I love the atmosphere and I’m considering acting or vending (I make jewelry and a friend of mine makes costumes) while taking a year off to study for the GRE and make some decisions about grad school.
1. Is the Ren Faire your only job? If not, what is your other/primary occupation?
2. What is your level of education? Or rather is there a necessary type of degree for certain positions?
3. What is you level of involvement? (seasonal, year-long, traveling, volunteer, etc….)
4. What is your role in the Ren Faire? (organizing, vendor, actor, etc….)
5. How is the pay?
6. Would you recommend this occupation to others?
For the record, it’s this or the Peace Corps….and I’d rather not get malaria.
