For many, it's not about the dancing or the football (and it's certainly not about the pay - it's dismal!) - it's about what wearing that uniform can do for you. Living here, there is no denying that it opens doors. My friends that have been DCCs have said it's like having a secret key that gets you into all sorts of situations and circles you might never have access to otherwise. We used to have a couple of them rotating through in internships at my old firm (the hard-core traveling team veterans) and they seemed to always be doing DCC stuff (appearances, tours, practices, outside workouts, personal maintenance) that prevented a full-time job. But they always also seemed to have a lot of people willing to give them things or pay their way so it seemed to work out okay!
