How To Become Famous?

How can i achieve my dream and become famous ?

• When i become famous you will say ... hey ! i helped him become famous lol .. . but seriously , i've always wanted to be a computer engineer but now iam two months away from graduating ( iam 17 btw ) , iam trying to change my self , i've always been shy and not very social but now iam working hard to change myself , lose weight and have an amazing body and make myself way more attractive ( it will take a while but i hope that i can do it ) . But here's the problem , i've always thought that i want to be an engineer and work with computers , but now ( well about a month or two ago ) i realised that this is not what i want to do , and i don't know if I will be happy as a computer engineer , because what i really want to do is to be famous , singer or actor . to be honest i've always made fun of those who left school in order to follow their dreams but now idk what to do to achieve mine , i don't live in the USA or anywhere near it , the country i live in relies on high tech as it's main source of money , of course there are famous people here but it's small country and i don't think that i can be very famous here . right now i have a job and saving money to enter college , but i want to go to the USA and see if i can be famous or iam not meant to be , but it's not gonna be cheap and idk if i will ever be able to do it so what you think ? what can a 17 years old male with a little money and want ot be famous do ? ( i don't want to be famous because i want people to like me , i want to do it so that i don't have any regrets in teh future )

• Answer:

  Seventeen - or seven?! Most teenagers "want ot be famous", no doubt, but fame is not necessarily a measure of success. Very many famous people have committed suicide due to depression, gone bankrupt and failed eventually in all sort of ways. You want to be a "famous" singer or actor? Fine - but which?! Are you an above average singer or actor? If so, go to a performance type college and learn your craft. I accept that most poppy type singers are of low quality, but at least most of them can sing in tune, harmonise and play an instrument, for example. I have a young friend who worked and worked at her craft from a base of considerable musicability. At 16 she came fourth out of over 200,000 applicants in a UK national talent show, and her first single went to No 1 in the UK. But she wroked exctremely hard at it, to the detriment of school work and almost everything else. Get real! Maybe you can become famous, but you'll need to work extremely hard or have a lot of luck!
