Would you rather be a musician or an athlete?

f that... I'd be a rock star. Athletes put their bodies through the ringer more often than not if they're successful for a long time... whereas the only major risk you take in the musician world is OD'ing...

Plus, being in the music industry opens up a lot of other avenues for income down the road, and it seems to be an easier path to other aspects of entertainment. You could get an acting gig, or start your own label, etc... whereas athletes rarely get into coaching, and only a handful are good enough for broadcasting/analyzing.

Also, you appeal to a larger market in the music/entertainment business, and you could probably pull major hot ass no matter where you were.
