2. Even If They Get Rich, You Won't Be Too Bothered By The Paparazzi
Do you know who that is? Or, at least, did you know before reading her name under the image or seeing her reading Harry Potter? Well, even if you did, you probably know pretty much nothing about JK Rowling other than her name and what she's written. After releasing Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire, only the fourth book in the series, Rowling was reported to be worth £280 million, eleven places higher than the Queen in the UK's rich list, but with nowhere near the amount of press attention received by actors or musicians after similar success. The entertainment industry is one of the hardest if you want success, but it can also reap high rewards, and whilst money isn't everything, it's always nice to be comfortable. On the off chance that you end up dating a successful writer, you won't have to worry every time you leave the house, but you'll be able to afford a nice detached house wherever you want and you might still get your picture in the paper. And if they do become this successful, you'll get to go to loads of fancy dinners and awards shows and meet some of your celebrity heroes, and maybe even visit the White House! (JK Rowling went to the White House in 2010 and rolled some eggs with Justin Bieber and the cast of Glee. For some reason.) Of course, this is all assuming things go to plan...
I'm a British filmmaker (or, at least, trying to be) and about to graduate with a Film Studies degree. Most of the time I should spend working is actually on Netflix so I obviously have loads of life experience to share with you lovely people.
