Renton 17723 Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 (edited) If you could be at the absolute peak of your chosen profession, what would you choose to be? You don't have to be like the examples given btw, I just used these because they are world-renowned in their field. I'd choose to be a great scientist, surprising as this might be. I think that by increasing the understanding we have of the world they can change it in a more permanent way than any of the others, including politicians. Obviously they would have less fame, money, and groupies, but I wouldn't want that anyway. Any ideas? Hope this poll works btw.

Gemmill 34338 Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Footballer. Not so much for the adoration, more because I could retire at the age of 35 and never have to do a day's work again in my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Carr's Gloves 3187 Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 I've gone for actor. Continual work so less chance of becoming a boring old fart who keeps going on about in my day. Also a great body of work. The art to acting as well tempts me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 26232 Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 World Famous Actor - Well paid, can pick and choose your work and take as much time between films as you want, lots of people want to have sex with you etc., sounds like a great gig.

Not least because of the money, but having so many people idolising and looking up at you, you have the chance to set an example and influence millions.

Meenzer 14030 Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Something in the world of music. I was going to say rawk star, but I might actually prefer to be a classical virtuoso of some description - I imagine there's a far greater sense of satisfaction at a good night's work, and there'd be a relentless stream of poshos willing to pay £100 a pop to see you, plus plenty of opportunity to branch out into CD sales and sit on your arse and like Pavarotti for a while.

Monster 0 Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 I would imagine that wearing the no. 9 and scoring for Ayr United would be the greatest thrill i would ever experience. Better than sex, drugs, winning the lottery, anything. Scoring for the club you have supporter all your life beats all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweetleftpeg 0 Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Astronaut, but one that goes to different planets, not one of these 'go to the International Space Station for a couple of weeks then come back' lot. They're still in the earths orbit ffs. Apparently, the most fantastic experience on the Apollo missions was not had by the guys who landed on the moon, but by the guys who orbited the moon waiting to pick them up. Going on the dark side of the moon every few hours, in total darkness, with no radio communication, and only the stars to look at, is beautiful.
