I voted musician singer. Since I’m dreaming anyway, I wish I had a decent singing voice; besides it sounds like it would be fun to write music and lyrics.
I had trouble picking - because I only want to be rich. But I chose writer.
I’m thinking that’s why “Author/writer” leads the poll.
I really only want to be rich…famous would suck. I picked author, however, since I always wanted to write for a living.
I wouldn’t mind the groupies, though…

Do you think Stephen King has groupies?
I bet Stephen King has groupies.
Photographer. I’m already a very serious amateur photographer, so it fits me naturally. Heck, maybe someday it will happen. 
Thanks for all the responses to the poll.
Now that it has pretty much run its course, I have to admit I am a bit surprised at the results. I sort of figured more people would like to be a movie star or have their own show on television - maybe I lived too long in Los Angeles…
I also expected more people to choose musician/singer as we have lots of people here who play in bands and write/sing music.
Still, it was interesting to see the results. Now I know why those threads about Kindle and Nook and books are successful here - lots of readers and writers.
Thanks for making this poll an interesting, and surprising, snapshot of professional career choices to achieve fame and fortune.
I was thinking about that, I don’t write well so my posts are short, I’m more of a ‘math’ person. Most of the people who belong to a message board who take the time to write posts are probably going to go for Author / writer option.
I picked movie star. Of course, I can’t act and I’m not a classic beauty, so chances are it won’t happen…
But I still think it would be a fun way to be rich and famous.
