would they have to be doing what they're doing for years and years and years or could they just start at an older age and work hard?

Try-outs are often open in major cities in the US. Keep your eyes and ears open for the next audition.

That depends on how quickly you learn your act.

I have heard of people performing after just a few months of apprenticeship.

Good luck!
I did clown gigs in my home town so I just sent out resumes, and letters of interest. I worked for two circuses, then. It is a very dirty life and someof the people (roust-abouts )putting up tents are people wanted by the law. You often cannot get to a shower, and have to bathe out of a bucket of cold water and pour it over your head with a cup. the sleeping quarters are tiny unless you buy your own travel trailer and pay for your own gas.No cable tv, no large wages. I even worked for the "wrolds largest big top" Carson and Barnes. If you go watch a circus in a town, watch the performers go to their nasty sleeping quarters, and see if you can live like that. If so, you can join up as a hired hand with animal care, and tell them you want to learn some act. It's kinda creepie,though. I ran away to join a circus, then I ran away from a circus. You can do some of those nice acts at a nice place in Las vegas, if you have any experience. That is a better route to being a glamorous performer.
