I'd rather be a rock star, but not for the lifestyle -- I just really wish I could play music with their level of mastery, musicality, and energy.
By contrast, I don't dream much of being a comedian, but I've always had a decent sense of humor and am not afraid of public speaking.
Maybe we're all just wired to desire most the things we have least :)
I wouldn't want the lifestyle of a comedian either, just the ability.
That's some strange wiring we have there. If the assumption is true, I wonder what the evolutionary reason for it is. To stoke creativity and exploration maybe? To prompt resource gathering?
