Mr. Pawlowski is still new to the carnival. It's natural for him to wish to affirm his authority to his employees, and his background in business gives him what many may consider a ruthless approach. Unfortunately, I can not overturn his decision. It's nothing personal against you. You are an admirable worker.
On a brighter note, you will have more time to enjoy your youth whilst you have it. However, if you strive to be mindful of your actions and presentations, I'm sure everyone will soon realize your intellect and other opportunities will appear for you. We must always keep our heads about us, and remain calm and collected in the face of adversity. We are only defeated if we accept the limitations others place upon us.
In short, you will not be required to stay in the sideshow if you do not wish it.
