Profession: Prankster:

The Profession of Prankster usually isn't a very lucrative one, however it does certainly bring joy into people's lives, albeit usually not that of the butt of the pranks!  Typically someone who is a prankster does it out of love for the job, taking on other oddjobs for funds as well, but some are paid by the wealthy to pull pranks on rivals or those who they enjoy seeing befuddled.  Trying to be a prankster in a less wealthy area, however, usually is more likely to get one run out of town than paid, especially as the materials for pranks usually need funds to procure them, and poor pranksters sometimes turn to crime in order to expand their art.
