The way you phrase this seems to imply that it must be either one or
the other.  Juggling is (I think) primarily for the enjoyment of the
juggler.  If we didn't like it we wouldn't be doing it .  Now, if you 
want to make some money at it you must have a secondary goal of pleasing 
the audience as well.  If you forget to please yourself, however, then 
you might as well not bother.

Finally, *anything* a juggler wants to do is a legitimate pursuit.
I work on nothing but numbers.  I don't pass clubs much, I don't
do much 3 object stuff, in fact I don't do an awful lot of stuff
that would cause someone to watch me juggle for hours upon end.
It is fortunate that I don't *want* to perform seeing as how
what I do is of interest to other jugglers only.
