Re: be honest

[(Anonymous)]

Basically anyone who wants a job that is largely to do with fame.

For every A-list megastar actor, there's a shitload of out-of-work extras.

For every bestselling author, there's a shitload of people who get every manuscript rejected.

For every master painter, there's a shitload of people with a back room full of canvases that no one has ever seen.

For every pro athlete, there's a shitload of people who are on reserves for their local teams.

For every hugely famous video game designer, there's a shitload of people designing indie games that get maybe four people playing it.

Being famous and being the top of your field is goddamn HARD. And you can say, "Well, I want it more than anyone else!!" - but everyone else is saying that, too. Aim to be GOOD in your field. Aim to be your PERSONAL best. But saying your life ambition is to be the very best like no one ever was is dooming you to failure. (For every champion of the Pokemon league, there's a shitload of people that get one or two badges then give up and go home...)

OP of thread here

I agree with you. It's not even just fame; any career ambition that sounds more like having fun than like work makes my eyebrows raise a bit. Your job is not a cool hobby, or a way to get attention. Besides, there are PLENTY of satisfying, enjoyable jobs out there that aren't being famous and having lots of twitter followers or whatever. You've just got to be willing to find one.

Oh yeah, bonus points for anyone who wants the fame more than the job. Like writers who want their original novel to have a fandom but haven't written and edited a manuscript yet.
