When we were little people ask us, what do you want to be? We'd say we want to be a doctor or lawyer and sometimes even a pilot. Atleast back then those were the popular choices. Nowadays the options are different, ask a kid his ambition and she'd say a singer, actress,dancer or a movie star? What happened to the white collared jobs every body used to dream about? So if you were to choose now at your age, if you had the chance to choose, would you rather be a big boss of a top company or someone best at your profession or be a well-known movie star?

i would much rather be a top executive and have a corner office on a high floor overlooking the hudson (NYC) top executives (in my opinion) have more power than movie stars do.

I dream the same cher913! Having my own corner office overlooking a great cityscape is something to dream about. (of course having your own secretary to take care of your schedules is also an added plus! hehehe)

Being a top executive looks like a more secure job. Besides, movie stars don't last - they fade eventually. Peace bry!

difficult choice for me... why??? because i love to sing and dance.. so id like to be pop star... but then i`d have to keep thin and beautifull al the time, with no private life... and if i were a very succesfull executive, then i`d not spend time at home with my falimy, traveling a lot and not enjoying life... but very good money!!! i like the way i live...

haha nice one marelinka! I once wanted to be a movie star. I did try to do acting jobs and joined reality shows. I was fun for a while but it gets the better of you. You don't get to always be on top and popular so the frustration gets real bad. I'm now working as company junior executive and hoping someday I can be on top. I think the life of an executive is much more relaxed but it's true what you say that it does take sometime away from your loved ones especially if your the type who get too caught up with the job

I love movies and entertainment. However, I would rather be a big boss. I like working in that environment. My favorite job was working for a big communications company in the Accounts Receivable department. There was always some new project going on and different deadlines we had to make. I enjoy working with numbers and facts and figures.
