rock star or sports star?

[TheMalcolmConnection]

First off, I'm going to answer this question from the perspective of someone who is single.

Being single, I could imagine I would have a penchant for debauchery, just as I do now, but much tamer.

I would think that both careers would be able to supply scads of the aforementioned, so I would think it's a wash in that regard.

Next, you think about your physical abilities? Would you rather be a physical freak of nature and have to keep your body a fine-tuned machine or be a rock star drinking and smoking years off your life? For me, I love to party and only being able to do it in the offseason wouldn't quite work for me. I mean being a rock star you could come drunk (within reason) and people would be pumped to see you.

Both make millions of dollars, both make you ridiculously famous.

Sadly, the ability to drink at any time I want would make me choose to become a rock star rather than a sports star.
