Poll of the Day: In which way would you most want to become famous?

While the others provide more money, author would let me stay relatively anonymous. You don't want too many of the unwashed masses to desire you. Plus, authors tend to have better fans IMO. Less likely to do stupid shit like stalk you or demand you invest in some scheme or another. You do have to deal with the idiots who swear "they came up with the idea first". Because ideas are worthless until you do something valuable with them. Any author worth his salt comes up with more ideas over breakfast than you see in a single novel. He just cherry-picks the best and leaves the rest to rot.

100%. Plus Football is not half as promising due to lifespan issues.

don't follow american rugby, can't act or play instruments

so it would have to be an author which is good as i read a lot

Doesn't matter mate. These questions all assume that any of the options are realistically possible.

Out of these, author, but I'd prefer scientist

I forgot to mention that authors have the best working conditions out of the four.

 

Athlete-constant workouts and injury, work weekends during the season, shorter career, controlled diet

 

Actor/Actress-must be on set for long stretches of time, sometimes on site at "exotic" locations (aka middle of nowhere), can be physically exhausting, controlled diet

 

Musician-records at a studio, practices at bandmates' house and tours constantly, performances are physically exhausting and non-negotiable, controlled diet

 

Author-write at home and tour occasionally, worst part is signings (seriously, try writing anything by hand for two to three hours straight), eat whatever the hell you want

Lol, "American rugby."

 

Almost picked author, but if I'm going to be famous then it should be for something I enjoy the most. Movies > Books

i cant pick one

QB, can't help the draw to the field.

Being famous would be miserable.

Tell that to Edgar Allan Poe, Chris Marlowe, and Ernest Hemingway...They all met horrific demises as authors that were overzealous about their work.

Ernest Hemingway

All Star QB for sure. Hands down.

If possible by mikitary achievements

From those choices NFL QB. I prefer to be an absolute leader of a nation.

Best-selling author. You become someone whom people learn from and approach for advice. The NFL is little more than a big for-profit money-making machine that works by always dominating American media, so no quarterback. The Actor and the Musician are both reasonable alternatives to the Author.

Author. More moneyz!

Man. Having to choose between Actor, Musician or Author...! In the end, I opted for Musician since technically songwriting is a form of writing and performing on stage with an instrument is a form acting.
