My preparation for obtaining a satisfying secure career will be to become qualified to be a placement officer specializing in the field of helping Magicians find employment in all areas of work. I may go to a two year training program at Stark tech, the Deerfield branch on 225 South, but most likely I will do a lot of reading and study of Journals related to being a working Magician and then learn the job placement skills themselves by working or interning at an office in Damascus, Ohio or a similar place having job placement firms.

I feel there will be a growing demand for Magicians in the work force over the next twenty to thirty years. However, sometimes it is difficult for magicians to originally break in to companies and firms because it is challenging to match a magicians skills with the demands of the workplace. Not only will I learn about Magicians from the study of trade journals and possibly going to magic shows in Branson Missouri or even Las Vegas, but I also hope to work as a magicians assistant at Summer stock theater at Geauga Lake this summer in Ohio. This will provide me with actual knowledge of the trade of being a magician. I also know and am related to an actual magician.

There are no special licenses to be a magician but some States require special forms to work as a DBA, or under an alien name, like California. A magician should be in good physical condition, have excellent dexterity and enjoy interacting with people. Also business skills are necessary to find jobs and keep records and such. A certain amount of savoir faire is a good trait to have if one is to be a popular magician.

Working in a placement firm itself is a satisfying secure field of employment. Management often makes over 50K per year. Specialists such as a person specializing in the placement of experienced magicians into career change work into the corporate field of security and theft protection at retail firms or software and Internet can make over 100K per year. There is no information on the job category of magician placement officer yet on the government census and SIC web site which implies that it is a new dynamic and up and coming field. It's a good time to get in to this line of work.

In summary I plan to train myself to be a placement officer working exclusively in the area of placing experienced magicians into corporate American businesses which will help me become a solid American citizen and respected member of my community.

PS
Sorry this is late Miss Kenesis, my brother Ike pushed my Mom's new boyfriend Lance down the front steps and the cops came last night. It was a zoo at our house and I talked on the phone to my Dad after his act in Myrtle Beach, SC until six AM this morning.
