Well it’s time for another Would You Rather Wednesday. If you missed last weeks, you can view it here: Blackout Vs. Regret
Would you rather
1. Be a Rock Star, but touring constantly. You are not filthy rich, but well off (money isn’t an issue). What you say and do influences many people.
2. Be an entrepreneur where you are rich, but put in long, stressful hours. You have plenty of money and will be set for life, but you have to put in a lot of time and energy.
** In either situation I am assuming you love what you do**
Personally, I am not sure what I would take. I would love the power of being a Rock Star. Plus, you’d get to see so many places when you are on tour. The only thing that would scare me is what I would do when the band was done. A new job? I would have to get something.
The entrepreneur is what I am leaning towards. Sure, fame is cool, but I don’t need it. I’d rather put my time in now to make some money and secure my (and family’s) future. Hopefully, I’d have fun doing it and it wouldn’t consume my ENTIRE life.
Sorry for the serious Would You Rather. I know many of you prefer the horse poop WYR’s (Donny & Sly - you disgust me).
Have at it, Hoss-es

I would choose Rock Star. Both of your scenarios have you spending most of your free time at your occupation, so at this point of my life I would choose fun over stability. Plus I think the Rock Star route is the best way to have both worlds. Is it really possible to be “rockstar” and not make a decent buck? You can’t buy charisma and talent, but you can be a musician who invests wisely.
I’ve already explained the horse poop, so I’ll leave it. At least you arent making wild claims about me and reptiles.
I’ll take the entrepreneur. It’s always been my dream to be self employeed, maybe in a successful franchise, say like a Philadelphia Soft Pretzel Factory. Man, if I could get involved in something like that I’d be set. Maybe start as the afternoon manager, work my way up, save some money, buy a franchise license, sell pretzels to various financial institutions corporate headquarters, have my friends and family do legwork for me. That’d be sweet, I wonder if I could pull it off…
I’ll concur with Sly. I have no desire for people to influence people based on my coolness rather than merit. I’m not interested in being rich either but at least then I’d be able to contribute to, or maybe even create organizations similar to the Gates Foundation. Touring would also blow a lot more than most would think. You’d wanna kill yourself after three months for sure.
